     Unless otherwise  defined or indicated in this Amendment No. 6, capitalized
terms which are used herein and are defined in the  Schedule 13D filed April 27,
1983 ("Original 13D") shall have the meanings assigned them in the Original 13D.
All  information  herein with  respect to Mexco Energy  Corporation,  a Colorado

ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER
-------   -------------------

     This Amendment is filed by Mr. Nicholas C. Taylor, an individual,  RESIDING

Colorado corporation maintaining its principal executive offices at 214 W. Texas
Avenue,  Suite 1101,  Midland,  Texas,  79701. The Issuer's principal  executive
offices  were  formerly at 906 Western  United Life  Building,  Midland,  Texas,
79701.

     The  Issuer's  corporate  name was formerly  Miller Oil Company.  In April,
1980, the Shareholders of the issuer adopted a proposal to amend the Articles of
Incorporation  ("Articles")  of the issuer to change the corporate  name to that
indicated  above.  Also, at that time, the  Shareholders  of the Issuer approved
amendments to the Articles which resulted in a one-for-fifty reverse stock split
of the Issuer's  common stock ($0.50 par value).  The corporate  name change and
reverse  stock split became  effective  April 30,  1980,  upon the filing of the
Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State.
