                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Benefits Administration Committee and Participants
of the Phelps Dodge Employee Savings Plan


In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  listed in the  accompanying  index
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of the Phelps Dodge Employee Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the years  then  ended,  in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These  financial
statements are the responsibility of the Benefits Administration  Committee (the
Committee);  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements  based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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,  assessing the accounting  principles used and significant estimates
made  by  the  Committee,   and  evaluating  the  overall  financial   statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for the
opinion expressed above.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The additional  information  included in
Schedules I, II and III is presented for the purpose of additional  analysis and
is not a  required  part of the basic  financial  statements  but is  additional
information  required by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure  under the Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. The fund information in the statement of net assets available for benefits
and the  statement of changes in net assets  available for benefits is presented
for  purposes  of  additional  analysis  rather  than to present  the net assets
available for plan benefits and changes in net assets  available for benefits of
each fund.  Schedules I, II and III and the fund information 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.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     GENERAL

     The Phelps Dodge Corporation  Savings and Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (the
     Plan),  a defined  contribution  plan,  was  established  by  Phelps  Dodge
     Corporation (the Corporation) effective January 1, 1953, for the benefit of
     eligible  salaried  employees (the  Participants).  Hourly employees became
     eligible   for  the  savings   feature  of  the  Plan  on  April  1,  1989.
     Subsequently,  the Plan name was changed to Phelps Dodge  Employee  Savings
     Plan.

     Effective  January 1, 1998,  assets  relating  to Accuride  employees  were
     transferred  out of the Plan into the Accuride  Employee  Savings Plan as a
     result of the Corporation's sale of Accuride  Corporation.  Assets from the
     Nesor Alloy  Corporation  Non-Union  Employees'  Profit  Sharing  Plan were
     merged into the Plan during February 1998.

     The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  A brief  description of the Plan is included
     in the following paragraphs. Participants should refer to the Plan document
     for a complete description of Plan provisions.

     ADMINISTRATION

     The Plan is sponsored by the Corporation  and  administered by the Benefits
     Administration  Committee (the Committee)  composed of six employees of the
     Corporation who are appointed by the Corporation's Board of Directors.

     Effective  September  1, 1998,  plan assets are held by a trust (the Trust)
     administered  by UMB,  n.a.  (the Trustee or UMB) and J.P.  Morgan/American
     Century  Retirement Plan Services (the  Recordkeeper)  was appointed as the
     Recordkeeper  of the Trust.  Prior to September  1, 1998,  plan assets were
     held by a trust  administered  by  Marshall  and  Ilsley  Trust  Company of
     Arizona (the Former Trustee).

     Fees and expenses of the Trust, other than brokerage  commissions and taxes
     paid in connection with security transactions,  and other expenses relating
     to the administration of the Plan were paid by the Corporation.

     INVESTMENT OPTIONS

     Participant  investments are  self-directed.  The Trust is comprised of the
     following investments at December 31, 1998:

     Interest  Income Fund -  common/collective  fund  investing in high quality
     government  and corporate  bonds,  stable value and  guaranteed  investment
     contracts and money market instruments.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     A profit sharing  contribution  made for certain  salaried and Phelps Dodge
     Mercantile  hourly employee  participants  by the Corporation  (the Company
     Profit  Sharing  Contribution)  is  limited  to the lesser of: 8 percent of
     consolidated net income of the Corporation;  7 1/2 percent of the aggregate
     eligible base pay of Participants;  or the percentage of the total eligible
     pay that would have been  allocated to employees who were  Participants  in

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

     Contributions  in the  Statement  of Changes in Net  Assets  Available  for
     Benefits, with Fund Information, totaled $9,184,000 for 1998 and $9,867,000
     for 1997.

     Participants were allowed to make voluntary contributions from 1 percent to
     10   percent  of  their  base  pay  on  an   after-tax   basis   (After-tax
     Contributions)  to the Plan by payroll deduction from July 1, 1986 to March
     31, 1989. Effective April 1, 1989, these voluntary After-tax  Contributions
     were   eliminated  and   Participants   became   eligible  to  make  pretax
     contributions (Pretax Contributions), subject to certain limitations, equal
     to 1 percent to 10 percent of their base pay and 1 percent to 15 percent of
     their base pay  effective  September  1,  1998.  Pretax  Contributions  are
     eligible for a matching contribution from the Corporation (Company Matching
     Contribution)  equal to 50  percent  of the first 5 percent of the base pay
     deferred.  Effective  September 1, 1998,  Participants are eligible to make
     contributions  to the Plan after three  months of service;  however,  these
     contributions  are not eligible  for Company  Matching  Contribution  until
     after one year of service. All contributions are invested in one or more of
     the investment  funds available within the Plan as elected by participants.
     Participants are fully vested in their total account balance.

     DISTRIBUTIONS

     Participants' interests in the Trust become distributable upon severance of
     their service with the Corporation or to their  beneficiaries  in the event
     of their death or upon  attaining  age 59 1/2.  The  distribution  may be a
     single lump sum or a series of  substantially  equal  annual,  quarterly or
     monthly cash  installments  beginning no earlier than age 55 and continuing
     over a period not to exceed 10 years, at the election of the Participant or
     beneficiary. Prior to August 31, 1998, distributions were generally made in
     cash,  although  distributions  from the Phelps  Dodge  Common  Stock Fund,
     Occidental  Petroleum Stock Fund,  Equity Income Fund and Growth Stock Fund
     were also made in  shares.  Cash  distributions  were based upon the market
     price  of the  funds  within  two days  prior to the time of  distribution.
     Effective  September  1,  1998,  cash  distributions  are  based  upon  the
     underlying closing price of the funds, except for Phelps Dodge Common Stock
     or  Occidental  Petroleum  Stock  which are based upon the actual  price at
     which the stock is liquidated in the market three days prior to the time of
     distribution.  Distributions  of the  Phelps  Dodge  Common  Stock Fund and
     Occidental Petroleum Stock Fund may be made in shares.

     Participants  may  withdraw  their  After-tax  Contributions  and  earnings
     thereon at any time. The Plan also provides, with certain limitations,  for
     hardship  withdrawals  of employee  Pretax,  Company  Matching  and Company
     Profit   Sharing   Contributions;   however,   earnings  on  any  of  these
     contributions are ineligible for hardship withdrawal.  Hardship withdrawals
     are not  granted  unless  other  financial  resources  are  not  reasonably
     available,  including  after-tax  savings  or a loan  from  the  Plan.  All
     withdrawals  and  distributions  are  made in  accordance  with  procedures
     outlined in the Plan document.

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

     LOANS

     Participants  may  borrow  amounts  as  provided  in the  Plan.  Loans  are
     repayable  over a maximum  of 5 years with the  exception  of loans for the
     purchase of a primary  residence which may extend to 15 years.  The minimum
     loan is $1,000 and the maximum loan is an amount equal to $50,000 minus the
     Participant's  highest  outstanding loan balance during the past 12 months,
     limited to 50 percent of the  Participant's  vested  account  balance.  All
     loans bear the Former  Trustee's  prime interest rate plus 2 percent at the
     end of the month  preceding  the month in which  the loan is  applied  for.
     Effective  September 1, 1998,  loans bear the prime interest rate as quoted
     in the Wall  Street  Journal  plus 2 percent as of the first of each month.
     The prime rate at December 31, 1998 was 7.75  percent.  Loans are repaid by
     payroll deduction and interest is credited to Participant  accounts.  Loans
     are secured by the Participant's previous contributions to the Plan.

     PLAN TERMINATION

     The Plan may be amended or  terminated at any time by the  Corporation.  No
     such action may cause any portion of the Trust to revert to the Corporation
     or to be used or  diverted  for any  purpose  other than for the  exclusive
     benefit of Participants or their beneficiaries.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  financial  statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
     accounting.  Plan investments,  other than Guaranteed  Investment Contracts
     (GIC's),  are  presented  at fair value.  The fair values of common  stock,
     registered investment companies and common/collective fund shares are based
     upon the closing market price on the valuation date. The GIC's are recorded
     at contract value, which  approximates fair value.  Contract value is based
     upon  the  GIC's  respective  face  values  plus  accrued  interest  on the
     valuation  date.  Participant  loans are  valued  at  amounts  advanced  to
     participants less principal payments received.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of the
     financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
     during  the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
     estimates.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Security  transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Expenses paid by
     the Plan in connection with such transactions include brokerage commissions
     and taxes  which  are  included  in the cost of  securities  purchased  and
     deducted  from  the  proceeds  of  securities  sold.  The net  appreciation
     (depreciation) in the fair value of the Plan's investments  consists of the
     realized gains (losses) and the unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation) on
     those  investments.  Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
     Interest   income  is   recognized   as  earned.   Employer   and  employee
     contributions are recognized on the accrual basis.

     Benefit  obligations for persons who have withdrawn from  participation  in
     the Plan are not  recorded as  liabilities  in the  accompanying  financial
     statements.  There were no benefit obligations  outstanding at December 31,
     1998 and $3,550,000 outstanding at December 31, 1997.

     For comparative purposes, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
     to conform with the current year presentation.

4.   UNITIZED FUNDS

     Prior to the transfer of funds to UMB in September 1998, several investment
     funds were unitized to allow the Former  Trustee to participate in late day
     trading.  Unitization  requires the establishment and maintenance of a cash
     reserve to settle the sale of the units with cash from the  reserve  rather
     than having to wait at least one  business  day for the  settlement  of the
     underlying  mutual fund as would normally be the case without  unitization.
     The value of the fund  determined  using the  number of units and net asset
     value per unit may not agree to the  statement of net assets  available for
     benefits,  with  fund  information,  due  to  pending  trades  and  in-kind
     distributions. There are no unitized funds at December 31, 1998.

     The  following  represents  the number of units and the net asset value per
     unit for all unitized funds at December 31, 1997:

     Certain Plan investments are shares of Registered  Investment Companies and

     Morgan Investment Management.  J.P. Morgan/American Century Retirement Plan
     Services,  an affiliate,  is the  Recordkeeper  as defined by the Plan and,
     therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

6.   TAX STATUS

     The Plan received a determination  letter from the Internal Revenue Service
     (IRS)  dated  September  2,  1998,  which  stated  that  the  Plan  met the
     requirements  of Section  401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code and that the
     earnings of the Trust are exempt from taxation  under Section 501(a) of the
     Code.  The  Plan  has  been  amended  and  restated  since   receiving  the
     determination  letter,  and will file for a redetermination by the IRS that
     the Plan, as amended and restated,  continues to satisfy such requirements.
     The  Committee  believes  that the Plan,  as amended  and  restated  and as
     operated, continues to satisfy IRS requirements for tax exemption.
