(From Fridays Daily)

The temporary eminence won by Johnny Dobbins Wednesday was made permanent yesterday, when he won first place in the worlds cham pionship broncho busting contest, the tidy sum of S4O0 and the diamond crusted medal signifying his new title.
 Just as though glomming this big plum were not enough, the California rider took second money in the bare back riding contest, which was an other feature of the final day of the 1917 Frontier Days celebration.
 Jack Garrett was winner of the final stecr-riding contest.
 Doc" Pardee, idol of the local fans, failed to mark his mount in the finals, and was disqualified. Halter" the icnd in equine shape, who has disqualified every man who rode him, and even made Pardec's colors drop, was successfully ridden by Lone Jor- dan yesterday, and this feat won the Verde cowpuncher the title of bare back champion.
 Quite the largest last day crowd in Frontier Days history attended the wind-up yesterday, and remained firmly ensconced in their seats in spite of the most threatening weather, including a short shower. Interest in the big event had grown very keen, as but seven riders remained to com pete for the worlds championship, and but three for the bareback belt. The assemblage was more partisan than it has been all week, seeing in the finals, an opportunity to pull for the favoritcs who were left in the arena
 Under the direction of Arena Di- rector Haworth, who has put on his show all week with splendid snap, the last days events were marshaled in fine shape. There were no long, tedi- ous waits between periods of excite ment, and the crowd sure appreci- ated it.
 H. Eubank, who made the best rec ord July 4, won the S50 and the worlds championship calf-tying con test with a total of 97 seconds for three steers. Bob Tickle was second.
 Johnny Dobbins, formerly of Selig- man, certainly made good. All the way through the contest, he has rid den his broncs without stirrups and

QUOTATIONS ON COPPER
 ARE MISLEADING

NEW YORK, July Stopper stocks and the metal reflected the intimation from Washington that the price of 25 cents fixed for 60,000,000 pounds of June copper for the gov crnmcnt would be made to apply to copper sold by the producers to the European accounts of the allies.
 For most of the producers this would mean d reduction of about ? cents the pound, and for some a re- duction of } cents from the contract large producers have sold copper in the last two years for more than 2S cents.
 Practically none of the copper which has made the higher metal market prices, such as the present figures of 3l-32 cents, has been sold by the large producers or the large metal agencies. These placed their copper over long periods at lower figures which they felt they were jus tificd in accepting ,because of the larger quantity Of metal taken Most of the big producers are furnishing copper today on orders taken months ago at ? cents, and will be engaged on these orders for months to come, the orc not yet being out of the ground to fill them
 Small consumers have by reason oi these long time contracts been oblig- ed 10 hunt in the markets for those with small lots of copper at their dis posaL The small consumer with a contract for finished goods nearing its time limit has been obliged to pay what the small metal dealer might ask or sacrifice a forfeit Such sales have in the main put the market quo tations at the higher figures which have not been justified by the actual transactions in the bulk of the cop per of the country. Notwithstanding the higher quotations made by the small consumers and small produc- CTS. the big producers have paid in most of the copper districts, and in all of those of Arizona, wages based upon the high figure, though they were actually receiving several cents less for their output.

usually husky twist on the part of his bronc lifted him into the air, whence he descended with a dull sickening thud. Jordan's ride on Halter was long one. The gun damned and il seemed that the gyrating pair had nearly reached the corral before the signal announced the ride was over.

 Steer-Tying Contest.
 It was late before the ropers got their inning. There were many of them, and each was entitled to loop in the final. In the four days, each roper has had shot at three calves. Last night the judges added up all the time sheets and found score that looked something like this:
 H. Eubank, 97 seconds, &50.

 Otto Lange, 105H seconds, S250

 The Minor Events.
 Della Ritter on Vanity Fair" had an easy victory over Sadie Munds in the ladies' free-for-all race.
 Mrs. Ritter wasn't so lucky in the cowgirls' race, however. Her horse refused to behave at the barrier and the champion lady racer was left at the post. Miss Ursula Carter won the contest handily. Mrs. Ritter protest ed so vigorously, however, that the contest was run over, and Miss Carter again triumphed. Stella Douglas was second and Mrs. Ritter third.
 Cline Downed at Last.
 Frank Cain, riding for Earl Simp- son. put the final spoke in Walter Cline's wheel, beating the habitual winner of the change-mount races in the pony express. Cline was second.
 There were several spccialties, i'm cluding the riding of steer by Mrs. Means, of Williams, and the flag race, which was won by the purple team, chiefly on account of Bill Simon's i'm tcrference. Bill is always doing something. Yesterday. he insisted on staying in the flag race, even after he had been tackled and downed off his horse a couple of times. He stayed on foot and outran several ponies, showing the effects of his training at school, when he did several honor. able things in track and field meets

WINNERS GIVEN THEIR CHECKS
 AND PRIZES
1917 INTER DAYS SUCCESS FINANCIALLY ACCORDING TO A STATE MENT; R E U MON ON VERDE IN FALL.
(From Saturdays Daily)


 Frontier Days over, and the excite
 ment ended, the crowds that were
 here the first four days of the week,
 diminished, but did not entirely van
 ish yesterday. Streams of automo-
 piles left the city by every road, car
 rying residents of the surrounding country back to their homes, but other streams of cars continued to circulate about the streets, showing that of the hundreds of visitors, scores would re- main for the Summer.
 the only evidence of big celebra- ton that was left yesterday, was the merry-go-round, performing its mon otonous duty to its kid patrons for the last time in its present location
 People who live and work in the inn mediate vicinity of Gurley and Cortez streets may take heart from the as surance of the powers that be, that next year, the merry-go-round and carnival will be moved to another To, cation, probably the ball park east of the city.
 At Frontier Days headquarters in the chamber of commerce office, Sec retary Sparkes and assistants, Roxie Creekmur and Blanche Mcdonald, continued all day paying out checks to winners of prize money and to men employed during the celebration. It was remarkable the volume of busi- ness transacted in a few hours by these efficient bankcrcsses.
 An informal statement was issued to the effect that from present indi cations, it seemed the celebration had broken even financially. A more de- tailed account of the finances will be rendered shortly.
 Cowpunchcrs who had gathered here to the number of several hun dred, remained in the city for another day of town life, before departing for their ranges. Some, however, having looked on the gay life of the big city until satisfied, wound up their bed rolls and silently faded away, all | same Arabs.
 Many of the contestants and range | visitors who were here, will be found at Camp Verde the first week in Sep tember, when Doc Osborne will put on a Cowboys Reunion, that will sur pass everything in that line that has ever been planned. During the re- union, there will be gathered together more people of the COW country than were ever assembled in one point | along the Verde. A program of eX- ceptional merit will be presented.
 Doc Osborne showed this week that he is fully able to take care of cele- bration. As starting judge of the calf-tying contest, he proved most efficient operative. There were over q hundred roperS and each tied at least three calves. That means at least 300 starts. And every man got away to clean start. There wasn't q foul committed on the starting line and no contestant had kick coming.
 Tot" Young acted as flag man, and also assisted at the chutes. He said it was plum hard work, but he sure enjoyed it. It is the faithful service of such men as these that makes Frontier week an enjoyable one for the spectators, who like to see things done in a businesslikc manner. r. L. arena director, and Wiley Hill selected the workers with an eye to efficiency, and they got results.

] has raked them from mane to withers in an enthusiastic and unmistakable manner. His control was splendid, and his nearest rivals in the final rid ing had to admit that the moving pic ture work hadn't taken the pep out of the cowpuncher.
 Pat Duke, who had ridden consist ently, earned his second money, S250, on "Ioway' yesterday. Dobbins had "Pitchfork,' and a good hard tussle. Johnny Fredericks, who was awarded third money, made good ride on Vinegar Roan.
 Doc" Pardee drew Big Sid" for the finals. At first, the cayuse stuck to the chute and refused to play. Then, he wandered out into the field, made a few little buck jumps as a curtain raiser, and then opened up. Doe" had his hands full and didn't pay any attention to his feet, and after the ride, the judges called the horse back and examined him to see if the retiring champion had scratch ed Evidently they found no marks to their liking, for they declared Doc" out.
 Earl Simpson was then disqualified on Panther for not scratching. Lone Jordan did splendid bit of work on Rcd Fox" which entitled him to fourth place in the award
 Harry Henderson did a fair ride on Hobbies" and Duke ended the riding with a perfectly slashing stunt on "Ioway.'
 Garrett's Second Chance.
 Jack Garrett rode his first steer out of the chute la Wild Bill Simon that is, facing the tail. But Jack didn't get away with it. Mister Steer objected, and Jack went on his bean in the soft dirt. But in a minute, Garrett was astridc another beast, and made a fine ride. Garrett then rode his third steer, substituting for Earl Simpson.
 An unfortunate accident marred the steer riding. Lone Jordan's animal fell with him and broke a hind leg. The judges dispatched the beast after several shots.
