               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
  
  
  To the Administration Committee of the 
  Savings Plan For Hourly-Rated Employees 
  of Magma Copper Company, Magma Metals Company,
  San Manuel Railroad Company and 
  Magma Arizona Railroad Company:
  
  
  We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
  for plan benefits of the SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATED EMPLOYEES OF
  MAGMA COPPER COMPANY, MAGMA METALS COMPANY, SAN MANUEL RAILROAD
  COMPANY AND MAGMA ARIZONA RAILROAD COMPANY as of December 31, 1994
  and 1993, and the related statement of changes in net assets
  available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1994. 
  These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are
  the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is
  to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules
  based on our audits.
  
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
  auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
  perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
  financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
  includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
  and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
  assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
  made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
  statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
  reasonable basis for our opinion.
  
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
  fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
  benefits of the SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATED EMPLOYEES OF MAGMA
  COPPER COMPANY, MAGMA METALS COMPANY, SAN MANUEL RAILROAD COMPANY
  AND MAGMA ARIZONA RAILROAD COMPANY as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
  and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
  year ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
  accounting principles.
  
  Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
  basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
  schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable
  transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis
  and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but
  are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor
  Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
  Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
  schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
  the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
  are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
  financial statements taken as a whole.

                             SAVINGS PLAN
                    FOR HOURLY-RATED EMPLOYEES OF
              MAGMA COPPER COMPANY, MAGMA METALS COMPANY, 
                    SAN MANUEL RAILROAD COMPANY AND
                    MAGMA ARIZONA RAILROAD COMPANY

             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES

                       DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993


(1)      DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:

The following description of the Savings Plan for Hourly-Rated Employees of
Magma Copper Company, Magma Metals Company, San Manuel Railroad Company and
Magma Arizona Railroad Company (the Plan) provides only general information. 
More complete information regarding the Plan's provisions may be found in the
plan document.

         General

The Plan was established on January 1, 1987 by Magma Copper Company (the
Company) and is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

         Tax Status

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on July 14, 1988,  and was
most recently restated in accordance with the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  The Plan
administrator has filed a request for a new determination letter, however, no
response has been received to date.  The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax
counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code").  Therefore, they believe that the Plan was
qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement
date.

         Trust

The assets of the Plan are held by the MAGMA COPPER COMPANY TRUST FOR SAVINGS
PLANS (the Trust).  However, the records of each Plan within the Trust are
maintained separately and certified by Merrill Lynch Trust Company (the Trustee)
as being accurate and complete as reported therein.  Expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the performance of its duties, including fees for its services, are
paid by the Company.

         Eligibility, Contributions and Vesting
  
  Hourly-rated employees are eligible to participate in the Plan
  after having completed sixty (60) working days from the date of
  employment with the Company.  Participants can elect to contribute
  up to 12 percent of their annual compensation to the Plan. 
  Participants may also elect to have all or a portion of their
  quarterly bonus credited to their account.  Participants'
  contributions and deferred bonus contributions are fully vested at
  all times.
  
  The Plan provides that the Trustee may accept from a participant a
  contribution representing distributions from another plan which
  meets the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code.  Such
  "rollover contributions" shall be fully vested and shall not be
  subject to, or affect in any way, the maximum contribution
  limitation.
  
  The annual Company contribution amount depends on the age of the
  employee, with contributions ranging from $100 to $8,000 per
  employee.  No further employer contributions shall be made on
  behalf of a participant after the Company has contributed $8,000
  cumulatively.  Company contributions vest in accordance with the
  following schedule.  Continuous service begins on the employee's
  date of hire.

      Continuous Service             Vesting %
  
          0-35                          0%

          60 or more                  100%
  
  Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
  contribution and an allocation of Plan earnings on a monthly basis. 
  Allocations are based on participant account balances.
  
  For both employer and employee contributions, participants elect to
  have their accounts invested in various Merrill Lynch funds or in
  the common stock of the Company.  Company contributions to the
  employees' accounts will be invested in the Federal Securities
  Trust unless the participant directs otherwise.  A description of
  each Merrill Lynch fund is as follows:
  
     Retirement Preservation Trust
     
     This trust invests primarily in a broadly diversified
     portfolio of guaranteed investment contracts, U.S. government
     securities and high quality money market funds.  It seeks to
     provide preservation of participants' investments and
     liquidity with income typically higher than money market
     funds.  Cost equals market value as income is declared and
     reinvested each day.
     
     Capital Fund
     
     Investments in this fund are invested primarily in stock or
     convertible securities of corporations.  Total investment
     return is the aggregate of income and capital value changes.
     
     Federal Securities Trust
     
     Investments in this fund include U.S. Treasury and Government
     agency securities, mortgage backed securities and options and
     futures transactions.  This fund seeks high current return on
     investments.
  
     
     Phoenix Fund
     
     Investments in this fund are invested in a diversified
     portfolio of equity and fixed income securities of issuers in
     weak financial condition which are believed to be undervalued. 
     Investment in this fund is speculative and involves a high
     degree of risk and is designed for investors who do not
     require current income and who can afford the accompanying
     risk.
     
     Basic Value Fund
     
     Investments in this fund consist of securities, primarily
     equities, which are believed to be undervalued.  Total
     investment return is the aggregate of income and capital value
     changes.
     
     Global Allocation Fund
     
     This fund includes United States and foreign equity, debt and
     money market securities.  Total investment return is the
     aggregate of income and capital value changes.
     
     Company Stock
     
     Beginning in July 1993, participants could also elect to
     invest in common stock of the Company.
     
     Forfeitures

  Forfeitures of terminated participants and nonvested Company
  contributions are held by the fund for twelve months following
  termination.  If the terminated participant does not return to
  employment and active participation within the twelve months
  following termination of employment, forfeitures are used to reduce
  future Company contributions.
  
  Upon re-employment of a former participant, any forfeitures of
  nonvested Company contributions must be restored if the period of
  absence is less than five years and the initial distribution is
  repaid within two years of re-employment.
  
  
(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
  
  The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual
  method of accounting.  The Plan's investment funds are stated at
  market value, as established by the Trustee at December 31, 1994
  and 1993.  Investments are recorded on the trade date.

(3)  PLAN TERMINATION:
  
  Although the Company intends to continue the Plan, the Company has
  the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  If the Plan were
  terminated, all benefits would become payable to the participants
  after the payment of expenses incurred before the termination date.
  
(4)  OMITTED SCHEDULES:
  
  Based on the information provided by the Trustee, the Plan had no
  lease commitments, obligations or leases in default, or party-in-
  interest transactions, as defined by ERISA, during the year ended
  December 31, 1994.
  
(5)  RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500:
  
  Distributions payable to participants are recorded as part of net
  assets available for plan benefits and totaled $53,327 and $104,946
  as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The Form 5500
  requires that these amounts be recorded as liabilities of the Plan. 
  Therefore, the beginning and ending year net assets amounts and the
  current year benefit payments do not agree with the audited
  financial statements.
  
  (6)  VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE RESOLUTION PROGRAM:
  
  The Company has identified certain operational defects with respect
  to the Plan and has filed an application for relief pursuant to
  Revenue Procedures 92-89, as modified by Revenue Procedure 93-36. 
  A method of correction for each defect has been implemented which
  has not had a material effect on net assets of the Plan.  The
  Company has requested the Internal Revenue Service to issue a
  compliance statement under the Voluntary Compliance Resolution
  (VCR) Program for these defects.
