Item 1.  Security and Issuer

        This statement relates to the Preferred Stock, par value $11.94 per
shares (the "Preferred Stock"), issued by Sunshine Mining Company, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), whose principal executive offices are located at
877 West Main Street, Suite 600, Boise, Idaho 83702.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

        (a)  The statement is filed by Grace Holdings L.P., an Illinois limited
partnership ("Grace"). Bun Partners, Inc. ("Bun") and Spurgeon Corporation
("Spurgeon") are the general partners of Grace.

        (b)  The business address of Grace and Bun is 1560 Sherman Avenue,
Suite 900, Evanston, Illinois 60201. The business address of Spurgeon is 28W100
St. Charles Road, West Chicago, Illinois 60185.

        (c)  The principal business of Grace is to purchase, sell, invest and
trade in securities. The principal business of Spurgeon is that of being a
general partner of Grace. The principal business of Bun is that of being
general partner of Grace. The names, business addresses, and present principal
occupation or employment of each director and executive officer of Spurgeon and
Bun are set forth in Schedule A hereto.

        (d)  None of the persons referred to in this Item 2 has, during the
last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).




<PAGE>   4
                              Page 4 of 8 Pages


        (e)  None of the persons referred to in this Item 2 has, during the
last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

        (f)  Grace is an Illinois limited partnership and Spurgeon and Bun are
Illinois corporations.


Item 3.  Source of Amount of Funds

        The Preferred Stock originally owned by Grace was transferred form
Grace Brothers, Ltd. (a limited partner of Grace) and is kept in Grace's margin
account at Lehman Brothers, Inc., which account may from time to time have
debit balances. Interest charges on the margin debt are based on the fed funds
rate plus a specified margin. 


Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

        This 13(d) filing amendment is being made because Grace is no longer a
holder of in excess of 5% of the Preferred Stock of the Company.

        On May 22, 1996, a merger became effective, whereby the Preferred Stock
was exchanged for common shares and warrants of a successor corporation to the
Company. As a result of this merger, the Preferred Stock is no longer
outstanding.
