                                 PART I


ITEM 1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     The unaudited financial statements for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997, are attached hereto.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and notes thereto included herein.

     The Company generated no revenues from its operations during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, and the Company is
considered a development stage company.  The plan of operation of
the Company during the nine month period ending September 30, 1997,
generally involves the acquisition of additional mineral claims and
the taking to patent of a number of the claims acquired and to be
acquired by the Company in the future; however, the extended
moratorium by the Federal Government on disallowing the taking of
claims to patent has materially impacted the Company's capability to
generate timber resources.  Accordingly, the Company is also
attempting to develop an attractive exploration portfolio to attract
potential joint venture partner candidates.

     The Company had minimal expenses during the nine month period
ending September 30, 1997.  The Company is expected to operate at a
loss for the remainder of the fiscal year until earnings, if any,
are received from the harvesting of the metal and non-metal
resources known to exist within the boundaries of the Company's
properties.

     The Company expects to continue without any cash revenues for
at least the present fiscal year and will satisfy its cash
requirements by loans and advances from the Timber Partnership
and/or officers and directors of the Company, providing that the
Company does not commence mining activities.     At present, the
Company's financial resources are not sufficient to commence mining
activities.  In order to satisfy the Company's capital requirements
for additional drilling and to develop a mining feasibility program,
it will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional financing
in the minimum estimated amount of $750,000.  Management of the
Company is continuing to seek possible interested partners to join
with the Company in developing its mining claims.  The Company is
actively soliciting joint venture partners to expand its mining
activities, based upon the valuation of the Company's claims and
properties as reported in the independent engineering valuation
report.  The report also advised the Company to consolidate
adjoining claims to make such joint ventures more attractive.  The
Company followed the advice of the independent engineering firm and
the Company now has control of 125 continuous claims covering the
known strike length of the "Morning Glory Structure" which is in
excess of 14,000 feet.  As of the date of this report, management is
unaware of any third parties who are interested in joining with the
Company in this regard.  Exploration and mining activities of other

                                2



mining companies in the surrounding area of Northern Montana and
Canada in similar geological settings provides a basis for
management to believe that it will be able to interest joint
venturers in its proposed mining ventures.  However, in the event
the Company is unable to either solicit joint venture partners or
otherwise obtain the capital deemed necessary in order to commence
mining operations, it is possible that management will reconsider
the Company's business plan and begin to seek out other viable
business opportunities in order to provide the Company's
shareholders with liquidity.

     The Company currently has no employees and relies upon the
unpaid services of its officers for the operation of the Company. 
The contracted services of individuals will continue until it is
justifiable to employ a full time employee.
