                            PART I

Item 1.  Description of Business

(a)  Business Development.  Reserve Industries Corporation, a
New Mexico Corporation incorporated in 1957, (the "Registrant")
is engaged in the mining and sale of  silica sand.  The
Registrant conducts these operations in the USA.  In addition,
the Registrant holds several properties with mineral potential
and has equity interests in operations that supply services and
products to the steel industry and in operations in the Far East
that process waste slag from the smelting of copper into various
abrasive products used by the ship repair industry.

The Registrant mines and processes silica sand, through its
wholly owned subsidiary Reserve Silica Corporation (Reserve
Silica), located in Ravensdale, Washington, southeast of
Seattle.  The mine run sand is extracted from open pit mines and
is transported to an adjacent sand processing plant both of
which are located on Reserve Silica's land.  The wet plant
crushes, washes and separates the clay from the mine run sand
and classifies the sand into several products.  The wet sand
products are marketed to the cement industry and to golf courses
for sand traps.  The facility also incorporates a drying plant,
which further processes the wet sand into a dried silica sand
for the glass container industry.  In 1997, Reserve Silica
completed the basic upgrade of the wet plant and the
installation of a new dust control and air handling system for
the drying plant.  During 1998, Reserve Silica investigated
methods to lower the sand's natural iron content, which effects
the color of the glass containers.  By lowering the iron content
Reserve Silica hopes to maintain and broaden the market for its
dried sand.  Reserve Silica has decided to make these changes to
both the wet plant and drying plant and estimates that these
improvements will cost approximately $550,000.

The Registrant, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Reserve
Rossborough  Corporation (Reserve Rossborough) and Reserve
Rossborough Ventures Corporation (Reserve Rossborough Ventures),
owns a  net 44% equity interest in Rossborough Manufacturing Co.
L.P. (Rossborough), of Avon Lake, Ohio.  A description of
ownership is described in footnote 5 of the notes to the
consolidated financial statements.  Rossborough provides
products and services to the primary steel industry.  It is a
major supplier of  magnesium based reagent compounds used to
externally desulfurize hot iron metal and external
desulfurization is the primary business segment of the
Partnership.  External desulfurization of hot iron metal is a
process in which specially sized reagents are pneumatically
injected into hot iron metal prior to transforming it into
steel. The primary components used in the process are various
blends of magnesium granules, calcium carbide, lime and other
minor compounds.  The process is used by the primary steel
industry to improve the quality of its steel by lowering the
amount of sulfur contained in its finished products. Rossborough
has a magnesium grinding facility located near Walkerton,
Indiana that processes both magnesium ingots and secondary
magnesium granules into a size suitable for use in iron
desulfurization.  The  magnesium granules are blended at both
Avon Lake and Walkerton with other materials to make the
finished desulfurization reagents.  Rossborough is one of the
three primary suppliers of desulfurization services in North
America.  It has been working to expand its international
operations and is currently operating internationally through
joint ventures in Japan, Slovakia, Belgium and China.
<PAGE>

In China, Rossborough has bid as a subcontractor on several
large desulfurization projects and is supplying  co-injection
systems at the Benxi steel mill and the Baotou steel mill. 
China is a large market producing as much steel as the United
States and needs to upgrade the quality of the steel through the
removal of excess sulfur.  An affiliate of Rossborough also
purchased an operating magnesium smelter located near the city
of Taiyuan in the Shanxi province of China.  The smelter was
shutdown due to litigation related to ownership of the smelter. 
These problems were resolved to the satisfaction of Rossborough.
 The smelter has remained shutdown and Rossborough's affiliate
is currently evaluating the direction of the project..  The
smelter has the capability to produce between 3,000 and 5,000
metric tons of magnesium per year.  As a result of these
problems Rossborough wrote down the remainder of its loan ($2.7
million) during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1998.

Rossborough's other business segments include the manufacture of
special refractory lances and slag skimmers used in
desulfurizing operations; the manufacture of  custom
desulfurizing reagent injection equipment; the manufacture of 
molten metal samplers and thermocouples; the exclusive
distribution of Bimac Inc. ladle powders and slag conditioning
agents; and the distribution of selected other purchased
products.   As part of Rossborough's quality assurance program
it is certified, by a certified ISO auditor, as a supplier that
complies with the standards set by the global standardization
organization  under the program entitled ISO 9001 and 9002. 
This certification indicates to customers a certain level of
quality and process control and is becoming a requirement of the
primary steel industry in their selection of suppliers.

The Registrant owns a 20% stock interest in JPL Industries Pte.
Ltd.,  (JPL) a Singapore company organized in 1990.  The other
shareholders are a subsidiary of Jurong Shipyards Ltd., a
Singapore company and two Japanese companies, Nippon Mining &
Metals Company, Ltd. and Mitsui & Company, Ltd. JPL is in the
waste management business.  JPL operates as a collection and
treatment center for wastes generated by other industries.  It
identifies wastes which have the potential to be recycled,
develops processes to recycle the wastes and coverts the wastes
into value added products.

JPL is also in the business of selling processed and unprocessed
copper slags that are used for abrasive blasting purposes.  It
has a  recycling facility that processes used copper slag
abrasives generated by the  Singapore ship repairing industry. 
The plant mechanically and hydraulically separates contaminates
from used abrasives.  The recycled abrasives are segregated into
a coarse size fraction and a fine slag size fraction.  The
coarse size fraction is combined with new copper slag abrasives
to make blasting abrasives.  The fine slag fraction is used as a
raw material in other products such as interlocking concrete
pavers and as a partial replacement for sand and aggregates in
ready-mix concrete.  

During the fall of 1995, JPL authorized the issuance of S$12.5
million (Singapore dollars) of interest bearing redeemable
convertible unsecured loan stocks.  All of these convertible
loan stocks were subscribed by the first quarter of 1996.  The
loan was used to finance the second stage of the copper slag
processing and recycle facility and to expand the concrete paver
plant.  If the all of the convertible loans are converted into
common stock, the Registrant's interest will be reduced to
approximately 7%.
<PAGE>
The Registrant has a number of mineral interests that it deals
in the normal course of business and below is description of the
properties currently held.

The Registrant, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Reserve
Minerals Corporation (Reserve Minerals), has retained economic
interests in three uranium joint ventures located in northern
Saskatchewan, Canada.  The retained interests in the Waterbury
Lake Joint Venture and the Dawn Lake Joint Venture are net
profit interests of approximately 0.75% and 1.5%, respectively. 
The Registrant owns a 1% royalty on its former 9.063% interest
on all minerals produced in the McArthur River Joint Venture. 
Some or all of the retained net profits and royalty interests
may become earning assets in the future.  The Registrant is not
involved in the operation of the properties and the reserve and
resource information contained in the following paragraphs is
from the public announcements by the companies or organizations
operating the properties.

The Waterbury Lake Joint Venture includes the Cigar Lake
deposit, which contains approximately 1.176 million tons of
uranium reserves at a grade of 13.60%.  This equates to
approximately 353 million pounds of uranium concentrate, U3O8. 
The deposit covers an area of approximately 40 acres.  The Cigar
Lake Mining Corporation, formed by the Waterbury Lake Joint
Venture, has the responsibility of developing the Cigar Lake
property.  A special underground remote mining and transport
method, which surpasses prevailing safety standards, has been
developed and successfully tested within the deposit. 
Currently, the venture has made arrangements to have the
majority of the ore processed at the existing Rabbit Lake mill
with the remainder to processed at the McClean Lake mill
currently under construction.  The project has been undergoing
the permitting process for number of years and in April 1998 the
federal and provincial governments approved the project with
certain conditions.  The project to scheduled to begin
production in late 2001 or 2002.

The McArthur River Joint Venture uranium deposit was discovered
in 1988.  As a result of underground exploration drilling, the
property now has uranium reserves of 457,000 tons at an average
grade of 18.74%, which equates to a reserve of 188 million
pounds of  U3O8.  In addition the property has uranium resources
of 859,000 tons at an average grade of 12.02%, which equates to
a reserve of 227 million pounds of  U3O8.  The operator of the
property has successfully completed the permitting process and
received a construction license in August 1997.  Construction is
expected to continue until October 1999, when the mine is to
become operational. The mine would replace production from the
Key Lake deposit and the Key Lake processing mill will be used
to process the ore.

The Dawn Lake Joint Venture has a uranium deposit containing
755,900 tons of uranium mineralization at an average grade of
1.97%.  This equates to approximately 29.8 million pounds of
uranium.

The Registrant holds various non-producing mineral properties in
the United States.  In New Mexico it owns the mineral rights in
a 57,000 acre tract and an 8-1/3% non-participating royalty on
all the minerals in a 60,000 acre tract.  Prior drilling has
located some uranium mineralization on these tracts.
<PAGE>

L-Bar Products Incorporated (L-Bar Products),  a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, operated a magnesium recovery
plant located at Chewelah, Washington, north of Spokane.  The
plant was closed in December 1991.  In March 1995 L-Bar Products
was placed in Chapter 7 liquidation and a trustee was appointed.
 An agreement to settle litigation related to the bankruptcy has
been submitted to the court.  Matters pertaining to the L-Bar
Products bankruptcy case are more fully discussed below
(reference Item 3. Legal Proceedings).

(b)	Business of Issuer. The business of the issuer is as follows:

1.  The Registrant primarily produces and sells silica sand to the glass,
cement and golf course industries.  Further descriptions of the businesses
are contained in Item 1. (a) above.

2.  In the majority of cases, the Registrant distributes its products
directly to its customers by truck or rail.  Some of the golf course bunker
sand is sold to distributors.

3.  The Registrant has not publicly announced any new products or
services.  However, as described above it plans to install
equipment at its sand plant to lower the iron content of its dried sand.

4.  For the silica sand operation numerous competitors exist, however
competition is limited to regions by the cost of shipping.  The Registrant
competes on the basis of keeping prices in line with the competition and
maintaining the quality and consistency of the products.

5.  The Registrant acquires the raw materials for the silica sand
operation from a silica sand deposit owned by the Registrant and
the mine is operated to provide mine run sand as required by operations.  

6.  The Registrant deals with relatively few customers.  For the
silica sand business, approximately two-thirds of the sales are
made to two long term customers; Ball Foster Glass Container Co.
LLC and  LaFarge Cement Company, which recently purchased the
Seattle cement plant owned by Holnan Ideal Cement Co. .

7.  There are no patents or trademarks of material importance to the
Registrant's business.  Mining claims, leases and crown grants
are believed to be held under valid contracts or other evidence of title.

8.  The Registrant does not currently require any new government
approval in order to conduct its business.

9.  As with all small and large businesses, the existing and
probable governmental regulations are a significant burden, and
the cumulative effects are potentially detrimental to business expansion. 

10. The Registrant spent less than $100,000 during the past year
investigating methods to lower the iron content of its dried
silica sand.  As a result of these efforts, the Registrant plans
purchase and install the necessary equipment.  None of these
costs have been borne directly by the Registrant's customers.

11. Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to
protection of the environment effect the Registrant in many
areas of its operations.   Most of the cost and effects of these
laws, in the opinion of management, are currently contained in
the Registrant's financial statements.  During 1997 and 1998,
Reserve Silica spent $184,000 to upgrade and improve the air
handling system at the drying plant. 

12.  The Registrant has 17 full time employees and 1 part time employee.

Item 2.  Description of Properties

	(a)  Information as to the location of the principal plants is
forth under Item l. above.  The silica sand mine and processing
facility is situated on approximately 340 acres and is owned by
Reserve Silica.  The mineral property interests are described in

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    (a)  Pending legal proceedings

The Registrant and L-Bar Products, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, have
reached an agreement to settle all litigation with Northwest Alloys, Inc.
(lawsuits listed below).  On February 8, 1999, a Notice of Intent to enter
into a settlement agreement and mutual release will be sent to all creditors
and interested parties by the Chapter 7 Trustee of the L-Bar bankruptcy.
Any creditor or interested party who objects to the settlement agreement
must do so in writing within 23 days of the date of mailing of the notice.
If there are no objections, the Court may enter an order approving the
settlement without further notice of a hearing.

Under the terms of the agreement, Northwest Alloys will be
allowed a $4.0 million nonrecourse claim against L-Bar, but may
execute its claim solely against L-Bar's property in Chewelah,
WA.  Northwest Alloys will undertake to perform the remediation
activities at the site required by the Washington Department of
Ecology relating to flux bar residue and certain other
materials.  L-Bar and NWA mutually release each other from any
and all actions, claims, liabilities, causes of action or any
rights any of them might have as of the effective date of the
settlement agreement.  Similarly, with certain limited
exceptions, Reserve and Northwest Alloys release each other from
any and all actions, claims, liabilities, causes of action or
any rights any of them might have as of the effective date of
the settlement agreement.
<PAGE>
Northwest Alloys has agreed to use its best efforts to purchase
the claims of the former L-Bar employees by paying to such
employees the amount of each employee's wages which are entitled
to priority under the Bankruptcy Code.  On the effective date of
the settlement Northwest Alloys will pay into the L-Bar estate
$300,000.  Northwest Alloys will also return the 500,000 shares
of common stock issued by Reserve pursuant to the October 28,
1991 stock purchase 

  Litigation settled by the Settlement Agreement
  ----------------------------------------------

    Northwest Alloys Inc. vs. Reserve Industries Corporation 

On April 28, 1994, Northwest Alloys, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Alcoa, Inc., filed a complaint against the Registrant for
monetary and declaratory relief in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Washington.

    L-Bar Products Inc. Bankruptcy Proceedings

On December 13, 1991 L-Bar Products was notified that a petition
was filed against it for an order of relief under Chapter 7 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington.  This
petition was filed on behalf of three creditors that had
performed work on the capital improvements at the L-Bar Products
plant, prior to plant closure.  On July 13, 1992 L-Bar Products
filed a reorganization petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  The case was consolidated in the Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Washington.  On March 15,
1995, the bankruptcy was converted to Chapter 7 and a trustee
was appointed.

     L-Bar Products, Inc. vs. Northwest Alloys Inc.

On August 31, 1994, L-Bar Products filed a complaint for breach
of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, equitable subordination,
declaratory relief and recovery of environmental cleanup costs
against Northwest Alloys.  The complaint was filed in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington. 

     (b)  Pending governmental legal proceedings

     WDOE Proceedings

The Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) named the Registrant
and L-Bar Products as potentially liable persons (PLP) for part
of the cleanup related to the Chewelah site.  Under the terms of
the Settlement Agreement described above, Northwest Alloys has
agreed to clean up the site in accordance with a plan approved
by the WDOE.  The WDOE has a right under Washington Model Toxics
Control Act (MTCA) to try to collect unreimbursed past
(estimated to be less than $200,000) and continuing oversight
costs from PLP's.  The Registrant is not aware of what
arrangements the WDOE has made with Northwest Alloys in regard
to the payment of these oversight costs.  In the event that
Northwest Alloys failed to perform under the cleanup agreement
with the WDOE, the WDOE would have a right under MTCA to try to
require the Registrant to pay for the cleanup.  The Registrant
denies that it is a PLP for the Chewelah site.

The basis for naming L-Bar Products was its status as site
owner/operator.  The basis for naming the Registrant is the
alleged responsibility of the parent corporation.  It is
management's opinion that the Registrant was a separate entity
from L-Bar Products and is not responsible as a PLP for any
costs related to the cleanup at the site.. 

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The was no submission to the shareholders during the fourth quarter.
<PAGE>

                               PART II

Item 5.  Market For Common Equity and Related Shareholders Matters.

(a)  Market Information.  The Registrant's common stock is
currently not publicly traded because the Registrant has elected
to forgo an audit in order to conserve capital for necessary
plant improvements and legal fees.  Now that the litigation has
been settled the Registrant plans to file audited financial
statements later in the year.  Prior to August 1992, the
Registrant was listed on the NASDAQ National Over-the-Counter
Market.  Since the Registrant's stock is not quoted, the
Registrant can not list current prices for its stock. 

(b) Holders.  On February 19, 1999, the Registrant had
approximately 800 shareholders. 

(c) Dividends.  The Registrant has never paid a dividend.  There are
currently no restrictions or covenants to limit the ability to pay a dividend.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

     Results of Operations.

For the year ended November 30, 1998, the Registrant had revenues of $209,430
which resulted in net loss of ($2,068,945) or ($0.65) per share.  For the
year ended November 30, 1997, the Registrant had revenues of $3,618,847
which resulted in net income of $1,030,682 or $0.28 per share.

The revenues in 1998 decreased from 1997 as a result of
decreased in sales from $1,492,238 to $1,133,280 and a decrease
in equity earnings from $1,625,515 to a loss of ($992,506).  The
1997 revenues also contained a gain of $408,245 on the sale of
stock.  The sales at the Registrant's silica sand operation
decreased primarily due to the reduction in purchases by its
glass customer.  The Registrant has developed a plant
improvement program, with the customer to lower the sand's iron
content, which should as a minimum restore its sales volume to
the 1997 level (on a pro rata basis).  The plant improvement
program is scheduled to be completed by mid-1999.  The reduction
in equity income was caused by several factors: the writeoff of
Rossborough L.P.'s loan on the Chinese magnesium smelter,the
loss of two large accounts, the general slowdown in the steel
industry in the 4th quarter and the writedown of part of its
magnesium inventory.

The costs and expenses were $2,278,375 in 1998 and $2,588,165 in
1997.  The costs increased as a result of the abandoment of the
Philippine operations in the amount of $75,545.  The cost of
sales decreased by $362,196 from 1997 to 1998 due to the
reduction in sales described above.  The G&A and interest costs
decreased slightly from 1997 to 1998.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Registrant's net cash (used) provided by operating activities was
$(211,937) and $1,218,822 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The net cash used
by investing activities was $156,434 and $373,029 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  Most of the cash used by investing activities in
1998 and 1997 was for capital improvements to the sand project. 
The Registrant reduced its debt by $244,315 and $207,219 in 1998
and 1997, respectively.
<PAGE>

The Registrant had working capital deficits of approximately
$3.7 million and $3.0 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. 
The working capital deficit increased as a result of the
operating losses.  As part of the Registrant's program to
conserve cash in order to operate the company, part of the
salaries due to the officers of the Registrant, all of the
deferred compensation due to the deceased chairman's spouse and
the part of the interest due on certain loans were accrued but
not paid in 1998 and 1997.  As of November 30, 1998, these
accruals (salaries, deferred compensation and deferred interest)
exceeded $2.7 million.

The Registrant plans to spend approximately $550,000 in 1999 on
capital improvements to the sand plant and expects to fund this
through additional borrowing.  In 1999, the Registrant plans to
continue to accrue part of the obligations described in the
paragraph and expects to continue to generate sufficent cash
flow to operate.

     Year 2000 (Y2K).

The Registrant uses a packaged accounting system, which the vendor has
represented to be Y2K compliant.  However, the Registrant plans to purchase
and install some module upgrades later in the year.  The Registrant is in
the process of receiving Y2K compliant software upgrades to its
payroll system.  The Registrant in the process of contacting its
primary customers to determine if they are Y2K compliant.

The Company's significant subsidiary also uses a packaged
accounting software system, which the developer has represented
to be Y2K compliant.  Affected systems include the significant
subsidiary's management information system, certain
manufacturing equipment, certain owned equipment in the field
and other office equipment.  The significant subsidiary has
implemented a Y2K task force to address all related Y2K issues
and estimates it is 90% complete of all testing and corrections
as of November 30, 1998.  The significant subsidiary also
believes it will be fully compliant by May 31, 1999.

Management believes that Y2K will not have a material effect on
the Registrant or its significant subsidiary or its results of
operation.  Because the information technology system at the
significant subsidiary was recently upgraded in the normal
course of operations, the costs of Y2K compliance are not
expected to material.

The Registrant and its significant subsidiary are taking all
reasonable steps to ensure Y2K compliance.  However, this
ability may be dependent on other parties and the Registrant and
its significant subsidiary can not provide assurance that there
will not be problems.

    Forward-Looking Statements.

The Company may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking
statements", within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform

Consolidated Statements of Operations for the Years Ended

Years Ended November 30, 1998 and 1997

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Years Ended

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

Because the financial statements are not audited there is no
report of independent accountants. 

All other schedules are omitted, as the required information is
not required, or the information is presented in the financial
statements or related notes.

Item 8.  Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Because of the Registrant's program to conserve cash, it was not
able to retain an independent accountant to audit the financial
statements for the fiscal years of 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994,
1993, 1992 and 1991.  The Registrant has previously used Arthur
Andersen & Co. and may retain them in the future.

While the Registrant has not used an independent accountant for
the fiscal years listed above, the Registrant is not aware of
any disagreements with accountants as contemplated by item 304
of SEC Regulation S-B.

Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

    (a)  Transactions with management and others.  The Melfi
Family Trust, which is part of the estate of Mr. James J. Melfi,
Sr., loaned the Registrant $695,000 in 1991.  These funds were
used by the Registrant to purchase 20% of the stock in JPL
Industries Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company organized in 1991. 
The terms of the agreement between the Melfi Family Trust and
the Registrant call for a five year note at 10% interest, which
was prime plus 0.5% at the time of the loan, and a warrant to
purchase 60,000 shares of the common stock of the Registrant. 
In addition, several times during 1991, Ruth Ann Melfi,
deceased, the wife of the Registrant's former Chairman James J.
Melfi, Sr., lent the Registrant working capital.  In order to
conserve cash the Registrant has not fully repaid this loan. 
The outstanding balance of the loan at November 30, 1998 was
$145,000, interest was paid through November 30, 1996.  The
interest rate on this loan is 10% per annum.  Both of these
loans are secured by the stock in JPL Industries, Reserve
Minerals Corporation, Reserve Rossborough Corporation, and
Reserve Rossborough Ventures Corporation.

One of the Registrant's subsidiaries, L-Bar Products, Inc.,
which is currently in Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation, had a
supply arrangement with Northwest Alloys, Inc., to process and
market certain waste products from Northwest Alloys' magnesium
plant in Addy Washington.  Northwest Alloys lent funds to L-Bar
for the rehabilitation of L-Bar's Chewelah Washington facility. 
At November 30, 1998, L-Bar Products owed Northwest Alloys $3.7
million plus accrued interest (before the settlement agreement
related to the bankruptcy as described in Item 3 above). 

(b)  Pursuant to certain promissory notes to the Registrant,
James J. Melfi, Jr., Frank C. Melfi and William J. Melfi have

                 INDUSTRIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

(l)	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Reserve Industries Corporation, a New Mexico
corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Reserve Silica
Corporation, Reserve Abrasives Limited, Incorporated, Reserve
Rossborough Corporation, Reserve Rossborough Ventures
Corporation,  Reserve Minerals Corporation , Reserve Trisal,
Inc., L-Bar Canada Inc., and L-Bar Products Incorporated,
(collectively "the Company").

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.  Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are
accounted for by the equity method (see Note 5) and are stated
at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings.

  Marketable Securities

Marketable securities are stated at the lower of aggregate cost
or market value.  The cost of securities sold is determined
using the specific identification method.

  Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of raw materials, finished
products and supplies, are valued using the average cost method
at the lower of cost or market value.  Production costs included
in inventories represent actual operating labor, raw materials
and supply costs. 

  Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. 
Betterment's, renewals and extraordinary repairs that extend the
life of the asset are capitalized; other repair and maintenance
costs are expensed.  The cost and accumulated depreciation
applicable to assets sold or retired are removed from the
accounts, and the related gain or loss on disposition is
recognized in operations.

 	Mineral Properties

Mineral properties, acquisition costs and all subsequent direct
costs incurred in retaining, exploring and developing the
properties are capitalized in property, plant and equipment
until production is attained.  If management determines that
development and production are not economically feasible, or
that capitalized costs exceed net realizable values, such costs
are charged to operations in the period such determination is
made.

 	Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization

The cost of machinery, equipment and buildings is depreciated
over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the
straight-line method.  Organization costs and goodwill are
amortized using the straight-line method over 60 months and 120
months, respectively.  As reflected in note 6, operations at
L-Bar Products, Inc. (L-Bar Products) were suspended in December
1991 and L-Bar Products was  determined in November 1992 to be a
discontinued operation.

  Income Taxes

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated
income tax return.  Separate tax returns are filed for the
Company's foreign subsidiaries and the corporate entities in
which the Company has equity interests.

Deferred taxes, which result from the effect of temporary
differences in reporting transactions for financial and tax
reporting purposes, will be provided when the Company exhausts
its net operating loss carryforwards.

  Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share were computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal year. 
Shares issuable upon the exercise of options have not been
included in the computation because they would not have a
material impact on earnings (loss) per share.

  Business Segments

The Company operates in two different industry segments; the
corporate operations segment and the industrial products segment
which contains silica sand operations.  The silica sand
industrial products operation produces various sand products for
use by the glass, concrete and golf course industries.  The
corporate segment includes partnership and equity income.  

  Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances
to conform to current year financial statement presentation.

(2)	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

At November 30, 1997, the Company had on deposit in a foreign
country $10,177, which is restricted from transfer out of the
country to the extent of the foreign subsidiary's retained
earnings.  Cash transfers out of the foreign country are subject
to a withholding tax.

(3)	INVENTORIES:

Inventories consist of the following at November 30:

                                                        1998        1997

                                                     $   216,950 $   99,493

(4)	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following at November 30:

                                                        1998         1997      
                                                     -----------  -----------

                                                     $ 3,778,530  $ 4,119,171

(5)	INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES:

     Rossborough Manufacturing Company and Rossborough Manufacturing Co. L. P.

The Company owns a 40% stock interest in Rossborough
Manufacturing Company (Rossborough Co.), through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Reserve Rossborough Corporation and a 20%
limited partnership interest in Rossborough Manufacturing Co.
L.P. (Rossborough L.P.) , through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Reserve Rossborough Ventures Corporation.  Rossborough Co. is
the general partner of and owns 60% of Rossborough L.P.  As a
result the Company's net interest in Rossborough L.P. is 44%. 
Rossborough L.P. is in the business of providing products and
services to the steel and foundry industries.

Investment in unconsolidated affiliates includes equity in
undistributed earnings.  Included in the Company's earnings are
equity in earnings of affiliates and consulting income and the
Company plans to reinvest its undistributed equity earnings in
those affiliates.  At November 30, 1998 and 1997 the Company had
$2,012,744 and $3,359,537 of undistributed earnings of
Rossborough Co. and Rossborough L.P. included in retained
earnings, respectively.  The equity in undistributed earnings of
Rossborough Co. and Rossborough L.P. recorded by the Company are
based on financial statements audited by independent public
accountants.

Certain parts of raw material inventory is accounted for using
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to more appropriately
reflect the inflationary cost increases of certain products. 
The effect of the change in 1998 and 1997 was to increase
(reduce) the carrying value of inventory and net income by
approximately $466,000 and $811,000, respectively.  At November
30, 1998 and 1997, 79% and 78%, respectively, of the inventory
is valued using the LIFO method of accounting. 

The  financial information of Rossborough L.P. is summarized
below for the periods ended November 30:

     JPL Industries Pte. Ltd.

The Company owns a 20% stock interest in JPL Industries Pte.
Ltd. (JPL), a Singapore company organized in 1991.  The
Company's investment is $692,239 and is included in investment
in unconsolidated affiliates. 

(6)	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

    Plant Closure

On December 6, 1991 L-Bar Products suspended operations at its
Chewelah, Washington facility because L-Bar lacked the necessary
funds to continue operation.  In November 1992, it was
determined to discontinue the operations of L-Bar Products.

    	Litigation

On December 13, 1991, L-Bar Products was notified that a
petition was filed against it for an order of relief under
Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington. 
This petition was filed on behalf of three creditors that had
performed work on the capital improvements at the L-Bar Products
plant, prior to plant closure.  On July 13, 1992 L-Bar Products
filed a reorganization petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code.  The case was consolidated in the Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Washington.  On March 15,
1995, the bankruptcy was converted to Chapter 7 and a trustee
was appointed.

On August 31, 1994, L-Bar Products filed a complaint for breach
of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, equitable subordination,
declaratory relief and recovery of environmental cleanup costs
against Northwest Alloys.  The complaint was filed in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington. 
Pre-trial discovery commenced in early 1996 and is expected to
be completed in 1998.

Subsequent to the fiscal year end, an agreement to settle the
litigation related to L-Bar Products was reached and notice was
sent to the creditors (as described in Item 3 of the Form
10KSB).  If the settlement agreement is approved by the court,
the Trustee will proceed to liquidate L-Bar Products.

    Long-term debt

A term loan with an outstanding amount of $3.77 million plus
interest is owed to Northwest Alloys by L-Bar Products.  The
loan is secured by the assets of L-Bar Products and bears
interest at the prime rate.  The purpose of the loan was to fund
certain plant improvements in process at the time of the closure
of the plant, as discussed in Note 12.  As security for the
loan, Northwest Alloys has a mortgage on all of the assets of
L-Bar Products.  In addition, the Company, subject to the Loan
Agreement, signed a guaranty as discussed in Note 12.  The loan
is subject to certain covenants and restrictions which relate to
maintenance of working capital, net worth, and accounts payable
of L-Bar Products.  L-Bar Products has not made any principal or
interest payments on the loan and is not in compliance with the
loan covenants.  Under the terms of the agreement, Northwest
Alloys will be allowed a $4.0 million nonrecourse claim against
L-Bar, but may execute its claim solely against L-Bar's property
in Chewelah, WA.

A term loan by L-Bar Products in the amount of  $312,192 plus
interest at prime was due November 30, 1991.  The loan is
secured by certain mineral rights of the Company with a book
value of $1,417,000.  L-Bar Products has numerous other
unsecured creditors.

     Summary financial information

The balance sheet of L-Bar Products is summarized below for the
periods ended November 30:

                                                         1998         1997

(7)	STOCK OPTIONS:

The Company has two active stock option plans; the 1987
Incentive Stock Option Plan (1987 ISO Plan) and the 1987 Non
qualified Stock Option Plan (1987 Non qualified Plan).  The 1987
ISO Plan provides for the issuance of options to key employees
to purchase up to 90,000 shares in aggregate of the Company's
common stock.  Under the 1987 ISO Plan options for 55,500 shares
were outstanding at $1.00 to $3.25 per share, all of which are
exercisable.  The 1987 Non qualified Plan provides for the
issuance of options to officers and directors, who can not
participate in the 1987 ISO Plan, to purchase up to 25,000
shares in aggregate of the Company's common stock.  Under the
1987 Non qualified Plan, at November 30, 1998, options for
21,500 shares were outstanding at $1.625 to $3.00 per share, all
of which are exercisable.  All option plans provide that the
option price must be equal to or greater than the market price
at the date of grant.  No options were exercised under the plans
during 1998 and 1997.  

(8)	INCOME TAXES:

At November 30, 1998 the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $10.6 million which will expire
between 2000 and 2012.  Certain differences exist between the
net operating loss carryforwards available for financial
statement purposes and for Federal income tax return purposes
due to differing treatments of dividend income, depreciation,
exploration and development costs, goodwill and deferred
compensation.  At November 30, 1998 the Company had investment
tax and new jobs tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$8,125 which will expire between 1998 and 2001.

Due to losses from continuing operations in 1998, there is no
tax expense computed for that year.  Because of the Company's
net operating loss carryforward, the Company did not present the
net tax effect of the losses from discontinued operations.  Due
to timing differences, the taxable income for 1997 is
approximately $314,000.  The table below shows the composition
of the income tax expense (benefit): 

                                                       1998        1997

(9)	OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES:

(12)	 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     Environmental Matters

The WDOE named the Company and L-Bar Products as potentially
liable persons (PLP) for part of the cleanup related to the
Chewelah site.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement
described above, Northwest Alloys has agreed to clean up the
site in accordance with a plan approved by the WDOE.  The WDOE
has a right under MTCA to try to collect unreimbursed past
(estimated to be less than $200,000) or continuing oversight
costs from PLP's.  The Registrant is not aware of what
arrangements the WDOE has made with Northwest Alloys in regard
to the payment of these oversight costs.  In the event that
Northwest Alloys failed to perform under the cleanup agreement
with the WDOE, the WDOE would have a right under MTCA to try to
require the Company to pay for the cleanup.  The Registrant
denies that it is a PLP for the Chewelah site.

The basis for naming L-Bar Products was its status as site
owner/operator.  The basis for naming the Company is the alleged
responsibility of the parent corporation.  It is management's
opinion that the Company was a separate entity from L-Bar
Products and is not responsible as a PLP for any costs related
to the cleanup at the site.  Therefore no amounts have been
accrued for this matter in the accompanying financial statements.

    Deferred Compensation

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for its deceased
chairman's spouse who died during January 16, 1998 and the plan
was terminated on that date.  The payment of this benefit is
pursuant to a management contract which provides for monthly
disbursements. adjusted annually for inflation.  The obligation,
originally recorded based on applicable mortality rates, was
exhausted during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1991. 
Payments made in excess of the obligation recorded have been
expensed when either paid or accrued.  

Amounts due under the plan were accrued, but no payments were
made in 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1993 and 1992 because the
Company has been  conserving its cash.  In 1998 and 1997, the
accrued deferred compensation amounted to $296,228 and $285,521,
respectively.

     	Cash Flow Requirements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The
Company is generating revenues from its continuing operations
and the current level of cash flow is sufficient to sustain
operations and a portion of its general and administrative
expenses.  The Company is conserving its cash and has not paid
all of the compensation due to the officers and directors and,
as described above, has accrued part of the deferred
compensation.  In 1998 and 1997, the accrued compensation due to
the officers and directors amounted to $2,301,650 and
$2,011,899, respectively.

During 1991, the Company borrowed $695,000 from the Melfi Family
Trust, which is part of the estate of Mr. James J. Melfi, Sr.,
in order to purchase the equity interest in JPL Industries Pte.
Ltd.  In order to conserve cash. the Company has not paid all of
the interest due on this loan.  In 1998 and 1997, the accrued
interest on the loan amounted to $448,867 and $377,087,
respectively.

The Melfi family members have loaned working capital to the
Company.  The Company currently owes $145,000 plus accrued
interest on these working capital loans.  In 1998 and 1997, the
accrued interest on these working capital loans amounted to
$43,500 and $29,000, respectively.

Pursuant to promissory notes to the Company, officers have loans
amounting to $478,785 and $449,285 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     Other

During the normal course of business, the Company has other
commitments, lawsuits, claims and contingent liabilities. 
However, Company management does not expect that any sum it may
have to pay in connection with any of these matters would have a
materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position.
