ITEM 4.
Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
Effective as of April 30, 2000, Mason Hill Holdings, Inc. ("Mason Hill" or the
"Company") dismissed its former independent auditor, Civvals, Chartered
Accountants ("Civvals"), based on their agreement that such action is in the
best interests of both firms. Effective as of that date, the Company has engaged
Demetrius & Company, L.L.C. ("Demetrius & Company") as its new independent
auditor. The decision to end the Company's relationship with Civvals and to
engage Demetrius & Company was unanimously approved by the Company's Board of
Directors.
Over the course of Civvals' engagement, the Company and Civvals had no
disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Civvals, would have caused it to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with any report or
opinion it might have issued. Furthermore, neither of Civvals' reports on the
Company's financial statements for the past two years contained an adverse
opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or modification or qualification of opinion.
ITEM 7. Exhibits.

Dear Mr. Kingsley:
MASON HILL HOLDINGS, INC.
FORMERLY KNOWN PRIDE, INC.
I refer to your letter of May 4th, 2000, together with the draft form 8-K
dated April 30th, 2000.
We confirm the contents of item 4 of the form 8-K other than to advise you
that our independent auditors report on the financial statements for the year
ended November 30th, 1998 contained a paragraph emphasising the fundamental
uncertainty of the going concern position of the company at that date.
Yours sincerely,
/s/Civvals
Civvals
