MKMBEPiS OF THE EK.VDEN COPTER CO. CUiS' CLUE. 
Braden Copper Co. Gun Club. 
.S.^NTiAGo. S. A., Dec. 30.—Inclosed please find pho¬ 
tograph taken in the Chilean Andes, at an altitude of 
7,982 feet, situated at 72 kilometers from the town of 
Kancagua. showing the members of the Eraden Copper 
Company’s (lun Club, formed e.xclusively by employees 
of the company. Its genial general manager, R. T. 
White (the tallest gentleman in the photograph) is one 
of the most enthusiastic followers of the sport. 
Trapshooting, as you will observe, is followed in the 
altitudes of the .Andes ^fountains, and shows that the 
game of trapshooting has reached such far-off corners 
as Chile. 
The Eraden Gun Club has over twenty-five active 
members, and counts upon such e.xcellent shots as R. T. 
White, C. B. Holmes, E. T. Colley, E. T. Stannard and 
J. Chambers, all shooters of 85 to 99 per cent, average. 
The staff of the company at Rancagua has recently 
started trapshooting, and promises to develop some ex¬ 
cellent "target busters.’’ Both clubs are looking forward 
tc competitive shoots in the near future, the result of 
which will bring forth still deeper interest in trapshoot-

Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ilk. Feb. 1.—Near zero weather had the 
effect of keeping down the attendance at our weekly 
shoot to-day, and the strong, icy-cold wind benumbed 
the shooters’ fingers, so that only a few good scores 
were recorded. Fetherston put up the top scoi;e of the 
amateurs when he broke 49 out of 50 in the first club 
event, Schultz taking second place with 3G, while trying 
out a new gun. Ed. Graham made a runaway race of it 
for the day, as he copped first place in all four events, 
hut then he nailed the targets almost before they left 
the trap house and before the wind made them dance a 
jig in their flight. Our ever pleasant and good-natured 
friend Harpham thoroughly enjoys the time spent at 
our club, as he gets as much fun out of the sport if he 
lands a low score as if he lands at the top of the list. 
Kay and Fox concluded they had all they needed after 
shooting one frame of 15 and proceeded to thaw out 
near the fire. Scores:

Feb. 2. — Our hopes for a more moderate temperature 
for to-day were in vain, as conditions were just about 
the same as yesterday. With a fairly pleasant day, our 
third monthly handicap shoot, wdiich was shot to-day, 
should have brought out at least fifty shooters; but as 
it was, a field of twenty-six marksmen turned out in 
spite of the cold weather. High scores were out of the 
question, and after shooting through the handicap event 
most all concluded they had enough, and the two-man 
team race was postponed until next month. 
Silver and F. C. Young tied for first honors in the 
main event, each breaking 78 out of 100, Silver breaking 
his from the 18yd. mark, and Young standing at 16yds. 
1' Gibson, a visiting shooter from Kirkwood, Ilk; Shaw 
and Moore divided second place honors by breaking 74, 
the first two from 18yds., and Moore standing at 16. 
Riley and Seelig each broke 73 from 18yds. for third 
place. Ed. Graham topped the professionals with 90, 
while Terry broke 55. 
First honors in the weekly club event went to Silver 
with 43 out of 50. N. Kuss took second with 37, while 
Matz broke 35 for third place. 
Shaw led the field in a practice event by breaking 14 
out of 15. C. A'oung fulfilled our expectations of last 
week, when we said he would soon be among the leaders, 
as he took first place with Silver. The two Ereitensteins 
and Stout came all the way from Burlington, la., to be 
with us to-day and expect to come again on March 2. 
It was lucky that the squad sheet writer had Riley 
lead off ahead of Seelig instead of .Stout, or the squad 
hustler may have had trouble on his hands if he should 
have called Stout, Seelig, etc., to the firing line. 
Phil. Miller was accompanied by two of his brothers 
who are in the city on a visit. 
The Esenbury Film Co. had a moving picture op¬ 
erator on the grounds, and after getting his machine 
set, he turned her loose, getting the shooters on the 
firing line, and finished a group picture, Fred. Bills 
bringing up the rear, and he tried to walk into the 
• machine, but stopped just in time to fire the last shot 
in 
the picture.
