Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
(a) The Board of Directors of Double River Oil & Gas Co. has
engaged the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP as
independent accountants for the Registrant since 1994. By

fees. There is no dispute as to the amount owed.
(b) During the two most recent fiscal years and interim period
subsequent to December 31, 1995, there has been no
disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure or any reportable
events.
(c) Report on the financial statements for the two years ended
December 31, 1995 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
(d) The Registrant has requested that Ernst & Young LLP furnish it
with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees
with the above statements. A copy of Ernst & Young LLP's
letter to the SEC dated March 24, 1997, is filed as Exhibit 16
to the form 8-K.
