Full Name of Registrant:                 Little Squaw Gold Mining Company
Address of Principal Executive Office:   P.O. Box 184, 933 W. Third
City, State and Zip Code:                Spokane, WA 99210

PART II - RULES 12B-25(b) AND (c)

___        (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of 
                this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable
                effort or expense;
_X_        (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
                report, on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N-SAR, or portion
                thereof will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar 
                day following the prescribed due date; or the subject 
                quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or portion there of will be 
                filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the 
                prescribed due day; and
___        (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by
                Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III - NARRATIVE

(State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, 
or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within 
the prescribed time period.)

The Registrant is unable to electronically file its 1997 Annual Report 
on Form 10-K when due on March 31, 1998.  The Registrant previously had 
filed its 1996 Form 10-K only in paper form under a hardship exemption 
and had requested such an exemption for its 1997 From 10-K.  On March 30, 
1998, Registrant was informed by SEC staff that no such exemption is 
available.  Accordingly, the Registrant is in the process of locating an 
Edgar filing service to complete the required electronic filing of Form 
10-K.  The electronic filing will be completed no later than April 15, 1998.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this 
     notification.

     Hollis Barnett              (253)                  848-3513
     __________________      ____________        _____________________
     (Name)                  (Area Code)         (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
     Company Act of 1940 during the preceeding 12 months (or for such 
     shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports)
     been filed?  If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                                                           ___ Yes  _X_ No
     Forms 10-Q for 3/31/97, 6/30/97 and 9/30/97
     ________________________________________________________________

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of 
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be 
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report 
or portion thereof?

                                                          ___ Yes  _X_ No


If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively 
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a 
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
