                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1)      In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial
         statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
         recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
         of the Trust as of June 30, 1995 and the results of its operations and
         its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and
         June 30, 1994, respectively.

(2)      No value is assigned to the land; consequently, no allowance for
         depletion is computed, and no charge to income is made therefor, and
         no cost is deducted from the proceeds of the land sales in computing
         gain or loss thereon.

(3)      The Sub-shares and the Certificates of Proprietary Interest are freely
         interchangeable in the ratio of one Certificate of Proprietary
         Interest for 600 Sub-shares or 600 Sub-shares for one Certificate of
         Proprietary Interest.

(4)      The Trust's effective Federal income tax rate is less than the 34%
         statutory rate because taxable income is reduced by statutory
         percentage depletion allowed on mineral royalty income.

(5)      The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         year.

(6)      Cash in excess of daily requirements is invested in money market
         instruments with maturities of ninety days or less.  Such investments
         are deemed to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of
         cash flows.


         Supplemental cash flow information for the six months ended June 30,
         1995 and 1994 is summarized as follows:

                          Management's Discussion and
                      Analysis of Financial Condition and
                             Results of Operations



Earnings per sub-share were $.39 for the second quarter of 1995 compared
with $.33 in the second quarter of 1994, an increase of 18.2%.

Total revenues for the second quarter of 1995 were $2,181,662 compared
with $1,948,991 in 1994.

A total of six land sales were closed in the second quarter covering 14,711
acres located in Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, Midland and Reeves counties.  The total
consideration was $1,053,258.  This compares to 7,221 acres for $940,520 in the
second quarter of 1994.  The first six months land sales were $1,777,118
compared to $2,281,918 in the first six months of 1994.  At quarters end the
Trust held one contract of sale of 640 acres for $41,600 on land located in
Ector and Winkler counties.  This sale was closed during July.

Land sales may vary widely from year to year and quarter to quarter.  The total
dollar amount, the average price per acre, and the number of acres sold in any
one year or quarter should not be assumed to be indicative of land sales in the
future.    The Trust is a passive seller of land; it does not actively solicit
sales of land. The demand for and the sales price of any particular tract of
the Trust's land is influenced by many factors including the national and local
economies, the rate of residential and commercial development in nearby areas,
livestock carrying capacity, and the conditions of the local agricultural
industry which itself is influenced by range conditions and prices for
livestock and other agricultural products.  Approximately 99% of the Trust's
land is classified as ranch land and intermingled with other ownerships to form
ranching units.  Ranch land sales are, therefore, largely dependent on the
actions of the adjoining landowners.

Rentals, royalties and sundry income amounted to $974,940 in the second quarter
compared to $883,448 in the same period of 1994.  For the first six months of
1995 rentals, royalties and sundry income were $1,770,102 compared to
$1,640,619 in the 1994 period.

Oil and gas royalty revenue was $632,104 in the second quarter of 1995, up
27.4% compared with the same period of 1994.  Oil royalty revenue was $457,637
in the second quarter, up 32.5%. Crude oil production subject to the Trust's
royalty interest was up 7.3% in the second quarter, and the average price per
barrel was up 23.5% for the period.  Gas royalty revenue was $174,467 in the
second quarter, up 15.8% on a volume increase of 44.3% and a price decrease
of 19.6%.

Management's Discussion (cont'd)

Oil and gas royalty revenue for the first six months of 1995 was $1,197,747, up
25.5% from the 1994 period.  Oil royalty revenue was $856,773 in the first six
months of 1995, up 29.3%. Crude oil production was up 4.9% and the average
price for crude oil increased 23,3% compared with the first six months of 1994.
Gas royalty revenue was $340,974 in the first six months of 1995, up 16.9% on a
volume increase of 35.9% and a price decrease of 14.3%.

Interest revenue increased 22.7% in the second quarter and 23.4% for the first
six months compared with last year.  Interest from notes receivable amounted to
$126,394 in the second quarter and $249,318 in the first six months, up 10.0%
for each period over 1994. Notes receivable decreased from $5,957,975 to
$5,318,751, or 10.7% in the period since June 30, 1994.

Taxes, other than Federal taxes on income, were up 2.0% in the second quarter
and 1.3% in the first six months of 1995.

The Trust's oil and gas royalty revenues, lease rentals and receipts of
interest and principal on notes receivable has generated more than adequate
amounts of cash to meet the Trust's needs and should continue to do so in the
predictable future.
