ENSIGN ANNUAL ELECTION.
Company 5 Properties Reported in a
Eealthful Condition.

The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Ensign Gold Mining company
took place on the 19tA inst, and the
new board elected for the. ensuing year
will consist Of +. NJ. Bishop. NilandO
Pratt John A. Silver, DorUs Pratt and
William Crabbe, who subsequently met
and organized by electing F. NJ. Bishop
president, John A. Silver, vice presi-
dent. and Milando Pratt secretary and
treasurer.
The secretary's report showed the
company to be in a healthful and pros
porous condition. The company's hold
ings consist Of two groups of mining
claims. Ole Bull, George Washington,
Abe Lincoln and Gold Leaf, situated in
City Creek canyon, eaSterly from En-
sign peak, IN the Hot Springs mining
district, and the New Year, Mountain
Lion. Mountaineer, Easter, Cascade and
1900 besides a mill site and water
claim, situated in Pole canyon, Tooele
mining district, Wes' Dip of Oquirrh
range, near Bingham.
It will be remembered chat some very
high assays of gold and silver were
made from some samples Of ore taken
from a shaft which was being sunk a
year or so ago upon the City creek
group. At q depth Of about thirty feet
two samples were found which assayed
respectively. 237 ounces silver, S4O25
gold, and 80 ounces silver, $1,O9S 20
gold.
Considerable work has been done
upon the cOmpany's City creek group,
consisting Of tunneling and sinking
shafts, which has resulted in the dis
covery Of a quartzite ledge near the
surface much misIeraliZed, and would
indicate from the similar iron-stainod
appearance to the above mentioned as
Sayed samples that the mother Lode
is not very far away.
Considerable development work has
also been done upon the Ensign ON
psny'e western claims near Bingham,
they having had an ample force of min
erS at work all winter. A shaft 100
feet deep and tunnel 10 feet long has
been made upon a Well defined vein,
varying from five TO eight feet in width
between walls. The tunnel will inter
cept the shaft at a distance of about
500 feet from its mouth. while the shaft
win be about 800 feet deep forming a
good air chimney, and the tunnel will
furnish drainage to the mine and an
outlet for it's ore.

PARK VALLEY COMPANY.
To Develop Claims Near the Century
and FL Amigo.

With a group OF claims lying be-
tween the Ell Amigo and Century-Gol-
conda properties in the Park Valley
district as a basis. a strong company
of well known mining operators was
formed in this city yesterday, and on
Monday the articles of incorporation
will be filed. The combination will do
business under the name Of the Buffalo
Mining company, with a capital stock
of $4,000, divided into 100000 10-cent
shares. A good round sum has been
turned into the treasury with which to
begin operations, and 100 900 shares of
the capital stock is set aside to pro-
vide additional money to carry on the
work. The incorporators are John L.
Weber, Z. H. Airs, w. V. Rice, w. Il
Clark, John c.. Lynch, S. w. Mosby, c.
Z. Street, w. D. Began and one or two
others whose names were not given
John L. Weber is president: w. H.
Clark, vice president; c. e. Street, sec
rotary, and John c.. Lynch, treasurer,
the other director being 5. w. Mosby
It is the purpose of the incorporators
to begin operations at once, and dur
ing the coming week officers of the
company, accompanied by a surveyor
will go out, have the claims, four or
five in number, all surveyed, and deter
mine at what point to begin work.
The Buffalo claim has "a five-foot
vein, which has only been opened by a
ten-fo0t cut, but ore running 1863
ounces silver, 451s per cent lead and
SLIGO in gold has been uncovered. "A
second character of ore from the vein
runs we'll in gold exclusively. In the
group of claims three other veins have
had more or less work done upon them,
the Excelsior vein carrying rock which
averages So in gold after throwing out
all quartz, showing the metal in ite
free state. The company was formed
by Mr.. Street, and with the strong ara
ray of talent the worth of the ground
will not be long in being determined.
