Ladies and Gentlemen,
Transmitted herewith on behalf of Midas Perpetual Portfolio, Inc., Midas Fund, Inc., and Midas Special Fund, Inc. (the “Registrants”) are copies of Post-Effective Amendments Nos. 71, 41, and 38, respectively of each Registrant’s currently effective Registration Statement on Form N-1A (each a “PEA”) filed pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), and Regulation C thereunder, and pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and the regulations thereunder. Each PEA includes each Registrant’s summary prospectus, the joint statutory prospectus (“Prospectus”), and the joint statement of additional information (“SAI”), relating to the Registrants. Each transmission includes a conformed signature page signed by power of attorney for the Registrants and the Directors, the manually signed original of which is maintained at the offices of the Registrants.
The purpose of the PEA filings was to comply with the amendments to Form N-1A described in SEC Release Nos. 33-8998; IC-28584; 33-9089; 34-61175; IC-39092. Aside from such changes, the form of the Prospectus and SAI and the rest of the disclosure do not differ in any significant way from the most recently filed Post-Effective Amendments to each of the Registrant’s registration statements (Post-Effective Amendment No. 70, Accession No. 0000015260-09-000016; Post-Effective Amendment No. 40, Accession No. 0000770200-09-000017; and Post-Effective Amendment No. 37, Accession No. 0000788422-09-000015, respectively) filed April 29, 2009.
Please contact me at 1-212-480-6432, extension 208, or R. Darrell Mounts at 1-202-778-9298 with any questions or comments you may have. Thank you for your time and consideration.
