FAMED sUEelNe BOYS OF JENA.
Ou9rowth OF Age of Bacchantes or
Wandering Students.

Hundreds Of years ago the streets
OF Jena and other German towns used
to echo to the songs of black-robed
monks, who went from door to door
singing and begging aims. Their ex-
ample was followed by bands of poor
students known as Bacchantes. These
Bacchantes wandered from one uni
Versity to another in search of better
instruction or better means of SUD-
port. Such a wandering life was ia
Vored by the customs of times when
people thought it virtue to give free
ly to all persons seeking help, but
especially to monks and students.
The Bacchantes had with them
younger travelling scholars known as
skirmishers, who were to receive in
zstruction in return for certain services.
The younger skirmisher had to wait
upon his Bacchante, beg, and even
steal for him, and for the most mart
he was very tyrannically used. But
as he was waif without other protec-
ton he had to make the best of mat
ters.
After the reformation in many
places these orphan boys. or waits,
were banded into organized choirs,
who received pay from churches. but
also were assisted by private sub
scrfptions. 1t was their duty to sing
not only In the churches, but before
the houses Of their patrons as we'll.
Thus they ceased to be beggars. Mar
tin Luther himself as a boy had been
one of these singers, and it was large
ly due to his influence that the old
custom OF begging entirely passed
away. There is a famous picture Of
Luther as a singing boy in Eisenach
where his song attracted the attention
of the coed Frau Gotta. who adopted
and educated him.
Nowadays the old custom of the
choir boys singing from house to
house is fading away. There are only
five other towns besides jena In the
whole German empire where this mu-
sic can be heard. Once each year the
singing boys go to Eisenach and sing
before the emperor in the great hall
of the historic castle of the Wartburg,
where the Minnesingers held their
music battles.
There are just 20 of the Jena sing
Ing boys. five each Of the ages OF II.

MAKES ANOTHER PAYMENT.
Nevada-Dougias Copper Pays Out for
Ludwig Property.

A $4,000 payment has been made
on the Ludwig mine of the Nevada
Douglas Copper company, Yerington,
Nevada. The Ludwig was bought by
A. j. Orem & Co., in June 1907, and
was turned over at its purchase price
$500, 900 to the Neyada-Douglas
company. The present $4,000 pay
ment makes s350,000 which has
been paid on the Ludwig. The re-
naming $4,000 is divided into de-
ferred payments which the company
says will come due after the mines
have entered upon their producing
period.
The Nevada-Douglas company is
busily constructing its road, the Ne
vada Copper Belt, from one end to
the other of the Yerington district,
the road now having been graded to
the mouth of the valley in which the
Nevada-Douglas mines lie. The COM
pany has timed the completion of the
road to its own properties to the
building of the local custom smelter
by the Mason Valley Mines company,
at Wabuska on the Southern Pacific.
The Nevada-Douglas company is
making many new mine improve
ments and is preparing to work its

scale, Notwithstanding 1t has already
blocked out ore bodies sufficient to
run a 1,000-ton smelter for 10 to Is

ANT|-W|LDCAT
LAW DISCUSSED
NEVADA MINING MAN WRITES OF
NEW LAW WHICH Is BENEFIT
CIAL TO OWNERS, INVESTORS
AND BROKERS'.

Frank Egan of the Seven Trouths
mining district has written the fol-
lowing concerning Nevada's anti
wildcat mining law which will be of
benefit to all mine owners, investors
and brokers. Following is the letter:
st is not generally known among
investors and holders of mining stock
that Nevada has an anti-wildcat law,
which completes mining companies
operating in the state to issue a
sworn statement twice a year and to
make oath that a true copy of 1t is
mailed to each stakeholder, under
penalty of $500 to $1,000 fine or i'm
prisonment.
believe that the the Nevada OPP
orators ought to request the mining
papers of the county to direct inyes-
tors attention to the existence of this
law and suggests that they demand a
statement fJune) from the company
in which they hold stock, when none
has been received. A knowledge of
the existence OF this law would aid
the stock broker, as well as the mine
operator, by lending a degree of con-
fidence TO the investor who as a stock
nD1ueT may KNOW SOlutluluB VI tnt
affairs of his company.
This new law provides that the
nature of the company's title to prop
erty be named and that a description
of claims, buildings and improvements
be given; that the total days of labor
be specified, as well as the amount of
consideration paid therefor; that the
number of treasury shares, sold and
the price received for them be made
known, as we'll as the number of
shares remaining unsold in the treas
ury; that II salary Is paid officers,
what they do to earn 1t; that a sworn
copy of the statement be filed with
the county recorder, the attorney gen.
eral and a true copy mailed each
stakeholder of record.
For neglect of this duty the officer
or agent, of a mining company. opera
ting in Nevada may be fined $500. or
imprisoned six months, and the cor
poration may be fined $1,000.
Shareholders of any mining COM
pany in Nevada, who have not yet
received a copy of the company's
June statement ought to write the
secretary of his company for a copy.
Any fair dealing company is glad to
conform with the law"
