RUBY MINING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of August 31, 1997, the Condensed
Statements of Operations for the three months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996,
and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended August 31,
1997 and 1996, have been prepared by the Registrant without audit. In the
opinion of the Registrant, the accompanying financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly
present the financial position of Registrant as of August 31, 1997 the results
of operations for the three months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the cash
flows for the three months then ended.
2) Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Registrant's May 31, 1997 Form
10-KSB.
3) The results of operations for the periods ended August 31, 1997 and 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Registrant's working capital continued to decrease, as amounts due
to Registrant's parent, U.S. Energy Corp. ("USE") affiliate USECB Joint Venture
("USECB") continued to be accrued for office and administrative costs and
expense. The $2,900 decrease in working capital during the quarter ended August
31, 1997, left a working capital deficit of $18,200 as compared to a working
capital deficit of $15,300 at August 31, 1996.
The Registrant anticipates that it will be able to meet its capital
requirements for the remainder of the year ending May 31, 1998 as USE has not
made demand on amounts due it. However, the Registrant must secure drilling or
construction contracts, or negotiate a way to retire debt to its directors and
parent company in order to continue operating long-term.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Registrant had no revenues from operations during the most recently
completed quarter ended August 31, 1997 or the corresponding quarter of the
prior year. The Registrant did however recognize $300 in interest revenue for
the quarter ended August 31, 1997 and August 31, 1996.
General and administrative costs decreased during the quarter ended
August 31, 1997 from the same period of the previous year by $1,500, primarily
due to a decrease in professional services, which had not yet been billed for
audit services.
The Registrant's operations consist primarily of administrative
activities associated with the preparation of various reports and documents as
required by law.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K. There were no reports filed by the Registrant
on Form 8-K for the quarter ended August 31, 1997.
