Item 1.  Financial Statements

The unaudited Financial Statements of Atlas-Energy for the Nineties-Public
#6 Ltd. (the "Partnership") for the period January 1, 1999 to March 31, 1999

Item 2.  Description of Business

The Partnership has placed into production 44.45 net wells to
the Clinton/Medina formation in Mercer and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania.
As of March 31, 1999, all 44.45 net wells are in production. The first
quarterly distribution was on June 8, 1998 for natural gas production
during January, February and March, 1998.

Net Production revenue for the three months was $399,398 which includes
landowner royalties.  Expenses for this period include $75.00 per month
per well for administrative costs and $275.00 per month per well for pumpers
fees.

For the next twelve months management believes that the Partnership has
adequate capital.  No other wells will be drilled and, therefore, no
additional funds will be required. 

Although management does not anticipate that the Partnership will have to
do so, any additional funds which may be required will be obtained from
production revenues from Partnership wells or from borrowings by the
Partnership from Atlas or its affiliates, although Atlas is not
contractually committed to make such a loan.  No borrowings will be
obtained from third parties.

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

          ATLAS-ENERGY FOR THE NINETIES--PUBLIC #6 LTD.
                   A PENNSYLVANIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                            March 31, 1999

1.      INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements as of March 31, 1999 and for the three months then
ended have been prepared by the management of the Partnership without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Partnership believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 1998
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
presentation have been included.

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil
and gas activities.  Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas
properties and drill and equip wells are capitalized.  Oil and gas
properties are periodically assessed and when unamortized costs exceed 
expected future net cash flows, a loss is recognized by a charge to income.

Capitalized costs of oil and gas wells and leases are depreciated,
depleted and amortized by the unit of production method.

In 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities.  This statement requires costs of
start-up activities and organization costs, as defined, to be expensed as
incurred.  The partnership is required to adopt the provisions of SOP 98-5
effective January 1, 1999 and as a result has written-off the unamortized
organization and syndication costs as a charge against Partners' Capital.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three Months (Quarter) Ended March 31, 1999
- -------------------------------------------

Net production revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are up
$254,834 (176%) due primarily to normal inclines in natural gas production
from 67,314 Mcf in the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 224,614 Mcf in 
the current three months.  The production inclines are net of increases in
revenues and operating costs attributable to wells being on-line for the
full period in the current three months compared with the prior year.
Natural gas prices decreased by $.42/Mcf to $2.03/Mcf during the current
three months. 

Financial Position
- ------------------

Liquidity
- ---------

The partnership's working capital decreased 22% from $434,461 at
December 31, 1998 to $340,589 at March 31, 1999.  The decrease is
attributable to normal declines in natural gas production which resulted
in lower receivables for gas produced but not yet sold at the end of the
reporting period.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

There were no new material commitments for capital expenditures during the 
period and the Partnership does not expect any in the foreseeable future.
