Dear Mr. Austin:

      We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
Where indicated, we think you should revise your documents in
response
to these comments.  If you disagree, we will consider your
explanation
as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is
unnecessary.
Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation.  In some
of
our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental
information so we may better understand your disclosure.  After
reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional
comments.

      	Please understand that the purpose of our review process
is
to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We
look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any
questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect
of
our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone number listed
at
the end of this letter.

1. Please advise us about the following:

- - We were unable to confirm that your independent accountant, Marc
Lumer & Company is currently licensed in Nevada.
- - We assume that the operations and assets of your company are
located
in Nevada. Tell us why you selected a California accounting firm
to
perform your audit.
- - Tell us if the audit will be performed in Nevada or California.
- - Tell us how you have met those requirements to provide financial
statements audited by an auditor who meets the requirements of
Rule 2-

governing audits of Nevada companies performed by accountants who
are
licensed by other states.

adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require.

provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the

proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal
securities laws of the United States.

      In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division
