                               PART I
                               ------

Item 1.   Business
          --------

Silver Mountain Lead Mines, Inc. (Silver Mountain or  the Company),
an  Idaho corporation,  was  organized in  1952.   At  present  the
Company is engaged  in no activity other than necessary maintenance
work on its property.

On  June 15, 1954, Silver  Mountain entered into  an agreement with
Hecla Mining  Company (Hecla) and  The Bunker Hill  Company (Bunker
Hill) whereby  these two  companies would  explore and  develop the
mining properties owned or  held by Silver Mountain and  would mine
any  commercial  ore  deposits  discovered  as  a  result  of  this
exploration and development.

The  contract  provided that  if commercial  ore  was found  on the
Silver Mountain property, Hecla and  Bunker Hill would provide  all
necessary mining equipment and  would mine the ore of  which Silver
Mountain  would receive  25%  with Hecla  and  Bunker Hill  sharing
equally  in the remaining 75%.  Any charges against Silver Mountain
for such  costs, in excess  of their net  smelter returns  from any
ores produced, would be  carried forward to  be paid only from  net
profits from any future production of such property.

The  contract contained a provision  that when and  if a commercial
ore body  was  discovered on  the  property  or after  a  total  of
$1,000,000 had been expended on exploration and development of said
property, Silver  Mountain would then own an undivided 25% interest
in the property.

On October 7, 1959, Silver Mountain was advised by Hecla and Bunker
Hill that exploration work, which cost in excess of $1,600,000, had
been  performed  on  the property  under  the  terms  of the  above
agreement.   $538,000  of such  costs was  advanced by  the Defense
Minerals Exploration Administration.   After being notified of this
fact,  Silver  Mountain deeded  to Hecla  and  Bunker Hill  each an
undivided 37.5%  interest in the Silver Mountain property under the
terms of the agreement.

Since the 1954  Agreement was  terminated on October  7, 1959,  the
necessary  maintenance and assessment work on the property has been
performed by Hecla  and Bunker  Hill or other  outside parties  and
Silver Mountain has been charged 25% of such expenses.

On November 1, 1982, Bunker Limited Partnership purchased from  The
Bunker  Hill   Company  all  of   its  Idaho  assets   and  certain
liabilities.     Included  in  this  purchase   by  Bunker  Limited
Partnership  were  its  37.5%   interest  in  the  Silver  Mountain
property,  896,000  shares  of  Silver Mountain  stock,  and  notes
receivable from Silver Mountain.  As a result of this purchase, 




                                -2-

Bunker Limited  Partnership and  Hecla continued management  of the
Silver Mountain property.

On June 6, 1988, the Company entered into a mining lease with Hecla
whereby  Hecla received  the  exclusive right  to the  exploration,
development and mining operations upon the Company's property for a
period of 25 years subject to cancellation if the property  was not
in production  within 15 years.   This lease was in  exchange for a
net profits  royalty of  40%.  On  January 18, 1991, the  lease was
terminated.

At February  9, 1995, Bunker  Limited Partnership and  Hecla Mining
Company, pursuant to an  agreement dated June 15, 1954,  each owned
an undivided 37.5% interest in the Silver Mountain property.  Stock
ownership of the two companies at February 9, 1995, was as follows:



                               Shares Held as of        Percent of
                               February 9, 1995         Ownership

 Bunker Limited Partnership          896,000               29.22% 
 Hecla Mining Company                115,000                3.75%

       Total                       1,011,000               32.97% 
                                   =========               =====  


On February  10, 1995, Hecla Mining Company acquired Bunker Limited
Partnership's  37.5%  undivided  interest  in  the  Silver Mountain
property and their  entire stock  interest in the  Company.   Hecla
currently holds 1,011,000 or  32.97% shares of common stock  of the
Company.

From  November  1,  1982  to  December  31,  1994,  Bunker  Limited
Partnership provided the Company  with general accounting services.
Commencing  January  1, 1995,  Hecla  Mining  Company (which  owned
32.97% of common stock from February 10, 1995 to December 31, 1995)
provided  accounting and  legal services  to Silver  Mountain.   In
1995, Silver Mountain  paid Hecla Mining  Company $9,000 for  these
services.  At  December 31,  1995, the Company  had obligations  to
Hecla  Mining  Company totaling  $4,458  and  $63,927 for  accounts
payable and notes payable, respectively.  At December 31, 1994, the
Company  held notes  payable  to Hecla  Mining  Company and  Bunker
Limited Partnership totaling $38,038 and $25,889, respectively.

Silver  Mountain  is an  inactive company.    It has  no  known ore
reserves and at present  has no immediate plans for  developing the
property.

Item 2.   Property
          --------

Silver Mountain's property is located  about one and one-half miles
east of Mullan, Idaho.  In 1993, Silver Mountain, together with the
co-owners  (Hecla  Mining Company  and Bunker  Limited Partnership)
relinquished  its  rights  to  certain  unpatented  mining  claims,
thereby reducing its property  ownership from a 25% interest  in 26
patented claims,  93 unpatented  claims, and  160 acres  of mineral
rights to a 25% interest in 37 patented mining claims and 160 acres
of patented mineral property.

a.   The  Company's stock ceased to be traded on any stock exchange
     May  24, 1991 when the Spokane Stock Exchange (where the stock
     had been  listed) discontinued operations.   The relative high
     and low sales price  for 1991 up to the date  trading activity
     ceased on the Spokane Stock Exchange are as follows:

                          June 30, 1991 (through 
                          May 24, 1991)               .07             .05


      At February  29, 1996, the bid and ask price for the Company's
     common  stock was  five cents  and eight  cents, respectively.
     However, there has not been  an established trading market for
     the common stock price since  May 24, 1991, and, as such,  the
     bid and ask price  do not constitute a reliable  indication of
     the  price that  a  holder of  common  stock could  expect  to
     receive upon the sale of any particular quantity thereof.

b.   As  of  February  29,  1996, there  were  approximately  1,058
     shareholders of the Company's common stock.

c.   The  Company has  paid no  dividends and  does not  anticipate
     being able to pay any in the foreseeable future.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
          ------------------------------------------------- 
          Results of Operations
          ---------------------

The Company's general financial condition remained unchanged during
1995  compared to 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,786
(4%) from $64,351 at  December 31, 1994 to $61,565  at December 31,
1995.    Working capital  declined  $6,800  (11%) from  $63,907  at
December 31, 1994  to $57,107 at December 31, 1995.   The decreases
in cash  and cash  equivalents  and working  capital are  primarily
attributable to  holding costs partially offset by an $805 increase
in interest income.

The 1995 net loss  of $6,800 was $7,085 less than the net income in
1994  totaling  $285.   This  decrease  in  earnings was  primarily
attributable to  an $8,000  increase in  accounting and legal  fees
partially offset by a $805 increase in interest income.  In January
1995,  Hecla Mining Company  began to provide  accounting and legal
services to the Company for $750 per month.  

The Company expects to keep  the property on a care-and-maintenance
basis.  Management  believes that the  Company has sufficient  cash
and cash equivalents  at December 31, 1995 to  meet its present and
intermediate financial requirements.

The Company is presently inactive and is no longer considered to be
in  the development  stage.    All  costs  are  being  expensed  as
incurred.   Through December 31, 1994, the Company was considered a
development stage company.

Silver  Mountain  has not  adopted the  provisions of  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards,  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of  Long-Lived Assets  and for Long-Lived  Assets to  be
Disposed  Of" (SFAS No.  121) which is  required to be  adopted for
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1995.    Management
believes that the adoption  of the provision of  SFAS No. 121  will
not  have a material effect on the results of operations, financial
condition, or cash flows of Silver Mountain.

The information reported under Item 6.  Selected Financial Data and
Item  8. Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data  regarding
financial condition is incorporated herein by reference.

                                 --------------


NOTE 1:   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is presently inactive and is no longer considered to be
in  the exploration and development stage.  All costs are presently
being expensed as incurred.

No  provision has been made  for depreciation since  the Company is
inactive. 

The Company considers  cash equivalents to consist of highly liquid
investments  with a remaining maturity of three months or less when
purchased.

Property, plant  and equipment are stated  at the lower of  cost or
estimated net realizable value.   Maintenance, repairs and renewals
are charged to operations.  Betterments of a major  nature would be
capitalized.   When  assets  are retired  or  sold, the  costs  and
related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated
from the accounts and  any resulting gain or  loss is reflected  in
operations.    Idle facilities,  placed  on  a standby  basis,  are
carried at the lower of net book value  or estimated net realizable
value.

NOTE 2:   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The  Company acquired  its  property located  in the  Coeur d'Alene
Mining  District, Shoshone County,  Idaho, for cash  of $494.50 and
through issuance of 3,066,000 shares of capital stock.  A total  of
316,000 shares were issued to officers and/or directors at the date
of  issuance including  92,600  shares issued  to current  officers
and/or directors.

Silver  Mountain has  not adopted  the provisions  of Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards,  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of  Long-Lived Assets and  for Long-Lived  Assets to  be
Disposed Of"  (SFAS No. 121)  which is  required to be  adopted for
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1995.    Management
believes that  the adoption of  the provision of SFAS  No. 121 will
not  have a material effect on the results of operations, financial
condition, or cash flows of Silver Mountain.

NOTE 5:   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The  following estimated  fair value  amounts have  been determined
using   available  market  information  and  appropriate  valuation
methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required to 


                                -12-

interpret market data and  to develop the estimates of  fair value.
Accordingly,  the estimates  presented herein  are not  necessarily
indicative  of the amounts the  Company could realize  in a current
market exchange.

The following  methods and assumptions  were used  to estimate  the
fair value  of each class of financial  instruments for which it is
practicable  to   estimate  that  value.     Potential  income  tax
ramifications related  to the  realization of unrealized  gains and
losses that would be incurred in  an actual sale or settlement have
not been taken into consideration.

The  carrying amounts  for cash  and cash  equivalents and  current
liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair values.  

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

and there are no stock options outstanding.

Hecla has in the past engaged in  necessary maintenance work on the
Silver  Mountain property  and required  assessment work  on Silver
Mountain's unpatented mining claims.  As of December 31, 1994,

by virtue of its purchase of  Bunker Hill's interest, in the amount
of  $2,000 on a note issued in 1954  which is to be repaid, without

discovered and mined.  In 1995, Bunker Limited Partnership sold its
