              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
  
  To the Administration Committee of the
  Employee Savings Plan of Magma Copper Company:
  
  We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
  for plan benefits of the EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN OF MAGMA COPPER
  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 EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN OF MAGMA COPPER 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.

                          EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN OF
                            MAGMA COPPER COMPANY

               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES

                         DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993


(1)  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:

The following description of the Employee Savings Plan of Magma Copper 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 October 1, 1986 by Magma Copper Company (the
Company).  The Plan 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 27, 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 under 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

Salaried employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after six months of
continuous service.  Participants may elect to contribute up to 12 percent of
their annual compensation to the Plan.  A participant's contribution is matched
by the Company (Company's contribution) in an amount equal to 50 percent of the
contribution made by the participant, not to exceed 3 percent of the
participant's compensation for that month.  Total matching contributions are
limited to $9,000 annually per participant.

Participants' contributions are fully vested.  Participants vest in the
Company's contribution at 20 percent for each year of participation in the
Plan. Participants may become fully vested in the matching Company contributions
under certain other circumstances, including Plan termination or five years or
more of service to the Company.

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 annual
contribution limitation.

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 matching 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 matching Company contributions.

Upon re-employment of a former participant, any forfeitures of nonvested
matching 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.

         Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution,
matching Company contribution and an allocation of Plan earnings on a monthly
basis.  Allocations are based on the participant's relative account balance
within an investment option.

(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.  In the event of termination of the Plan with
respect to a group or class of participants or partial discontinuance of
contributions, the balance credited to the matching Company contributions
accounts of all participants subject to such partial termination or partial
discontinuance of contributions will become fully vested and nonforfeitable.

(4)      OMITTED SCHEDULES:

Based on the information provided by the Trustee, the Plan had no lease
commitments, obligations or leases in default, or prohibited 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 $151,916 and $70,500 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 asset 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.
