PART III - NARRATIVE
Registrant and its subsidiary, Eighty-Four Mining Company
("Eighty-Four"), are conducting negotiations with Eighty-Four's
lenders relating to amendments to certain provisions of Eighty-
Four's loan agreements. Registrant anticipates that these
negotiations will be concluded during early April 1996. In the
absence of agreement with Eighty-Four's lenders on these
amendments, a portion of long-term debt included in Registrant's
Consolidated Balance Sheet would require reclassification as of
December 31, 1995, and other changes would be required in Part I of
Registrant's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 1995. Because Registrant anticipates Eighty-Four and its lenders
will reach agreement on the amendments, Registrant believes it is
appropriate to delay the filing of such Form 10-K Annual Report so
as to avoid the filing of such Form 10-K Annual Report and an amendment
thereto within several days thereafter and the resultant potential for
confusion and uncertainty for the holders of Registrant's Common Stock.

such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results
of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal
year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in
the subject report or portion thereof?
[ ] Yes [X] No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the
reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
