                    OGLEBAY NORTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
         and therefore, do not include all information and notes to the
         consolidated condensed financial statements necessary for a fair
         presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
         flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
         Management of the Registrant, however, believes that all adjustments
         considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
         operations for such period have been made.  Certain amounts in the
         prior year have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
         consolidated condensed financial statement presentation.  For further
         information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
         thereto included in the Registrant's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.

2.       Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the year, due to the seasonal nature of certain aspects
         of the Registrant's business.

                 ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS


                 Due to the seasonal nature of certain aspects of the
Registrant's business, the operating results and cash flows for the first three
months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              -------------------

                 At March 31, 1995 the Registrant's net current assets were
$18,204,000 as compared to $21,387,000 at December 31, 1994. Net current assets
declined from the end of last year primarily as a result of the purchase of
properties and equipment, the reduction of long-term debt and other
liabilities, the payment of dividends, and the payment of the Registrant's
portion of Eveleth Mines liabilities.

                 The Registrant acquired under its stock repurchase program
2,000 shares and 12,500 shares of its Common Stock on the open market and
placed these shares in treasury in the first three months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The Registrant declared and paid dividends of $.30 per share in
the first quarter of 1995 and $.20 per share in the first quarter of 1994.

                 During the first quarter of 1995, the Registrant sold certain
undeveloped clay properties in Tennessee resulting in a $520,000 pretax gain.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Registrant sold current investments
resulting in a $339,000 pretax gain.

                 Cash flow from operations in the first three months of 1995
was favorable compared to the first three months of 1994.  The Registrant
repaid a total of $619,000 of its debt in the first three months of 1995
compared with $5,976,000 for the same period in 1994.  Included in 1994 is a
$5,000,000 reduction in revolving credit debt with no balance presently
outstanding in 1995.  Anticipated cash flows from operations and current
financial resources are expected to meet the Registrant's needs during the
remainder of 1995.



                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

                    QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED TO
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994


                 The Registrant's consolidated net income for the first three
months of 1995 was $137,000 or $.06 per share on consolidated revenues of
$25,931,000 compared to a net loss of $143,000 or $.06 per share on revenues of
$31,370,000 for the first three months of 1994.  Consolidated revenues for the
first three months of 1995 declined 17% compared to the first three months of
1994 due mainly to a 62% decline in revenues for the Registrant's Iron Ore
segment as discussed below.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)
                       ---------------------

                    QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED TO
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994


                 During the first quarter of 1995 the Registrant sold for cash
certain undeveloped clay properties located in Tennessee resulting in a
$520,000 pretax gain.  Net income for the first quarter of 1995 increased
$343,000 or $.14 per share as a result of the gain.  During the first quarter
of 1994 the Registrant sold for cash current investments resulting in a
$339,000 pretax gain.  The net loss for the first quarter of 1994 decreased
$224,000 or $.09 per share as a result of the gain.

                 Interest expense declined 13% in the first quarter of 1995,
compared to the same period in the prior year, due to the refinancing of a
portion of the Registrant's long-term debt in December 1994 and an overall
reduction in debt.

                 Operating results of the Registrant's business segments for
the first quarter ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are discussed below.  It is the
policy of the Registrant to allocate certain corporate general and
administrative expenses to its business segments.

                 Operating revenues for the Registrant's Marine Transportation
segment amounted to $1,326,000 for the first quarter of 1995 compared to
$478,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  The segment's operating loss of
$218,000 for the first quarter of 1995 decreased 70% compared to $727,000 for
the first quarter of 1994.  The improvement is attributable to an early start
to the shipping season as a result of good weather, with eleven vessels
operating at March 31, 1995.  Due to severe ice conditions on the Great
Lakes, the start of the Registrant's 1994 shipping season was delayed into
April.

                 Net sales, royalties and management fees for the Registrant's
Iron Ore segment declined 62% to $5,323,000 for the first quarter of 1995
compared to $14,070,000 for the first quarter of 1994. The segment's operating
profit for the first quarter of 1995 declined 63% to $805,000 compared to
$2,191,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  In 1995, the Registrant is limited
to its annual allotment of 775,000 gross tons of iron ore pellets under its
Eveleth Mines agreements as the other owners have nominated their full
contractual tonnage.  Additional pellet tonnage was available to the Registrant
to sell in 1994, as other owners elected not to claim their full share of
Eveleth production.  Eveleth Mines plans to produce near its capacity of
5,400,000 tons of pellets in 1995 compared to 5,000,000 tons in 1994.

                 Net sales for the Registrant's Refractories & Minerals segment
amounted to $9,968,000 for the first quarter of 1995, which was a 4%
improvement compared to $9,624,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  Operating
profit for the segment was $112,000 for the first quarter of 1995 which was 79%
less when compared to $524,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  Operating profit
for this segment was negatively impacted by increased raw material costs in its
ingot hot topping operations and a decline in tundish coating products sold in
Mexico.

                    QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED TO
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994


                 Net sales for the Registrant's Industrial Sands segment
amounted to $9,314,000 for the first quarter of 1995, a 49% increase over sales
of $6,235,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  Operating profit of $1,409,000
for the first quarter of 1995 increased significantly compared to $273,000 for
the first quarter of 1994.  Strong demand for the segment's Ohio and Texas
whole grain and ground silica products and higher capacity utilized as a result
of the 1994 acquisition of additional assets in Texas were responsible for the
improvement.
