Dave,

I spoke with Frank Gardner, the acting President of the mine. The mine has
shut down due to high power prices and they are evaluating reopening it later
this year. John Malowney in our mid-market group has covered these guys very
well (Frank acknowledged that). EPMI has served this load in the past and
made numerous proposals to them during the past year. Montana rejected
these, including the attached proposal that offered to fix prices well below
the current forward market price. John has also proposed various
cross-commodity (copper) deals with our MG affiliate. John will discuss
their situation with Frank and I will follow up from time to time. I do not
think there is an attractive generation opportunity as Montana is net long
and the industrials' credit is marginal. We will keep you posted if anything
materializes.

Regards,

Chris

Chris, I called MRI but Frank was too busy to take the call so I left my name
and number and said if nothing else I'd see him on the 5th of October. Just
so you'll know, attached is a sample Term Sheet that I have previously showed
MRI. Note the prices that were "too high" at the time. John
