          swing vote argument regarding Jean True’s 37.63-percent interest            
          transferred as of June 30, 1994, for the reasons stated in our              
          analysis of True Oil, see supra pp. 201-202, and we find that a             
          minority discount is warranted.  We apply Mr. Kimball’s proposed            
          10-percent lack-of-control discount to Mr. Lax’s net asset value            
          to arrive at a marketable minority value as of June 30, 1994, of            
          $9,840,357 for the interest sold by Jean True to her sons.                  
              A summary of our determinations regarding marketable entity             
          values for Black Hills Trucking follows:

                  2. Marketability Discounts                                          
                      a. Kimball Report                                               
              Based on the reasoning described in the Belle Fourche                   
          section of this opinion, see supra pp. 233-234, Mr. Kimball                 
          concluded that the subject interests in Black Hills Trucking were           
          not readily marketable, and he applied 45-percent marketability             
          discounts to the marketable minority values as of June 4 and June           
          30, 1994.                                                                   
              The table below summarizes the nonmarketable minority values            
          of the subject interests in Black Hills Trucking calculated using           
          the guideline company and NAV methods.
