SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 1-8627]


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corporation, Common Stock, 
$0.01 Par Value)

May 15, 1996.
    Santa Fe Pacific Gold Corporation (``Company'' or ``SFPG'') has 
filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the Security of SFPG is currently traded 
on the NYSE and the CHX. The Company incurs annual fees for each of the 
exchanges. Currently SFPG is paying an annual fee of $2,500 to the CHX.
    From time to time SFPG has issued additional shares of Security for 
use in connection with its employee benefit

[[Page 25511]]

plans and expects in the future to issue additional shares for the 
purpose of raising additional equity capital. For new shares issued, 
SFPG will incur additional costs for listing new shares on the CHX.
    The majority of SFPG's stock is traded on the NYSE. Since the vast 
majority of SFPG stock is currently traded on NYSE, SFPG believes that 
it is not cost effective to maintain a listing on a regional exchange. 
The Company has therefore determined that a single listing, on the 
NYSE, will be sufficient to serve the needs of its stockholders.
    Any interested person may, on or before June 6, 1996, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street NW., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
