                        Report of Independent Auditors

Compensation and Organization Committee
Oglebay Norton Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Oglebay Norton Company Incentive Savings Plan as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993, 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 accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1993, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit
of the 1993 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the 1993 basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                             December 31, 1993



A.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting records of the Oglebay Norton Company Incentive Savings Plan
(the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis.

The majority of the Plan's assets are invested in participant units of the
Oglebay Norton Company Defined Contribution Master Trust (the "Master Trust").
Investments in the Master Trust are stated at fair value.  Securities traded on
a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on
the last business day of the Plan year; securities traded on the
over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on
that date are generally valued at the average of the last reported bid and ask
prices.  Investments in the Emblem Fund and the guaranteed insurance contracts
are stated at cost which approximates fair value.

Oglebay Norton Company (the "Company") pays all significant administrative
costs of the Plan.

B.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

The Plan is a defined contribution plan in which salaried employees of the
Company's Cleveland office payroll, Central Silica Company and California
Silica Products Company are eligible to participate.

The Plan allows each participant to elect to contribute from 1% to 6% of base
compensation up to $8,994 in 1993.  The contributions represent tax deferred
compensation contributions and take the form of reductions in salary for income
Continued tax purposes.

The Company is required to contribute an amount equal to 50% of a participant's
contributions up to a maximum of 2% of a participant's compensation.
Additional discretionary contributions are limited to 8% of a participant's
base compensation.  The Company reserves the right, by action of its Board of
Directors, to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of termination of
the Plan, all interests of the participants as they exist at that time become
fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may be distributed immediately in whole or
in part at the sole discretion of the trustee of the Plan.

                    Notes to Financial Statements--Continued





B.    PLAN DESCRIPTION--CONTINUED

Participant contributions may be invested in a Bond Fund, Equity Fund or
Insured Fund in 10% multiples.  Company contributions are allocated on the same
basis as participant contributions.  A participant who has reached age 60 or
has completed 25 years of service may elect to have their entire balances
invested in the Bond and Equity Funds transferred to the Insured Fund.

The Bond Fund is invested in securities or other assets, other than those of
the Company, providing income that is fixed, limited, or determinable in
advance, or in common or collective trusts or investment funds.  Up to 50% of
the Equity Fund may be invested in shares of the Company common stock.  The
balance of the Equity Fund is invested in common stocks, securities convertible
into common stocks, and common or collective trusts or investment funds.  The
Insured Fund is invested primarily in insurance contracts which provide a
guaranteed rate of return, but may also be invested in United States Government
securities, the income from which is fixed or determinable in advance, or in
common or collective trusts or investment funds.  Funds deposited in the
Insured Fund will be invested in assets which are pooled together to provide a
blended average rate of return.

All assets of the Plan are recorded in individual participant accounts.
Participants are fully vested as to their contributions and vest at 10% per
year for the first four years of employment and fully vest after five years in
all Company contributions made to the Plan.  For participants withdrawing from
the Plan, the unvested portion of Company contributions is forfeited and used

D.    INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").  Therefore, the related Trust is
tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC.  The Compensation and Organization
Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.  The tax
exempt status of the Plan does not apply to the taxability of distributions to
participants under the Plan.

E.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective January 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to include employees of the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, West Minerals, Inc.
