Notes To Unaudited Financial Statements 
October 31, 1997
 _________________________________________________________________

1.  The financial statements as of October 31, 1997 are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation.

2. The Company has a substantial investment in mineral properties. 
The existence of mineral reserves in commercial quantities on those
properties has not been determined. Recovery of the investment is 
dependent on the discovery of minerals in commercial quantities.

3.  As disclosed in the April 30, 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997 Forms 10-K,
the U. S. Forest Service has determined a release of hazardous substances
covered under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act occurred at Siskon Mine, a property which the Company
once had under option.  The Company is not aware of any developments in
this matter since the filing of the April 30, 1997 Form 10-K. 

4.  Reference is made to the Company's annual financial statements
for the year ended April 30, 1997 for a description of its
accounting policies which have continued without change.  Also,
refer to the footnotes to those financial statements for additional
details of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.  The details in those notes have not changed except as
a result of normal transactions in the interim.

5.  Subsequent event:  On November 18, 1997 the Company sold all of its
interest in the Sonrisa claims for $150,000.  After transaction costs and 
income taxes, the gain on this transaction is expected to approximate 
$130-135,000 or approximately $.01 per share.  

   MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Production royalty income from the Sonrisa claims for the three
months and six months ended October 31, 1996 were zero and $1,000
respectively.  During the same periods in 1997, income from this source
was zero.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company sold these
claims for $150,000.  The Company does not anticipate any similar transaction
on any of its other properties in the foreseeable future.

During the three months ended October 31, 1996, the Iron Point prospect
was leased for an advance minimum royalty of $17,000; the lease was extended
for an additional year during the quarter ended October 31, 1997 resulting
in $20,000 of advance minimum royalty income.                       

     Unallocated exploration and rental expenses were comparable for the
quarters and six-month periods ending October 31 each year.  General and
administrative expenses were slightly higher during the current year due
primarily to legal expenses incurred in respect to the sale of the Sonrisa
claims mentioned above.
