This report is the fourth of a series, the purpose of which is to flake available, in standard tabulur form, the results of aquifer tests that have been made by various private and public agencies in California. The scope of the compilation is to describe systematically, in a form agreed upon by the California Department of Water Resources end. the Geological Survey, the (1) test location, (1) pumping data, (3) well data, and (4) summary of results. The results of these tests occasionally have been published, but usually they have been used only to obtain other information. Consequently, the results of aquifer tests have not always been readily available.
This report was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources. It tabulates, through April 1965, the tests that were available for northern California.

In order of area affected, the States are Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri. \r\n\r\nFive lives were lost, and the estimated damage was $14 million. Main-stem reservoirs kept Missouri River stages substantially below potential unregulated levels. Without regulation by reservoirs, the stage at Sioux City and Omaha would have been about 9 feet higher than it was and the damage would have been many millions of dollars more than actually occurred. \r\n\r\nThe floods were caused by rapid melting of an extensive snow cover of unusual depth and water equivalent, augmented by light to moderate rains. Temperatures almost continuously below normal, beginning in late December and culminating in record lows at many places during the first half of March, resulted in the retention of record snow accumulations, much later and much farther south than normal. The snowfall in eastern Nebraska from December 27 to March 26 was about twice the annual average. The excessive snowfall and below-normal temperatures produced a record-breaking 75-day period of continuous snow cover at Omaha. \r\n\r\nA rapidly rising, eastward-moving temperature pattern late in March, in combination with an easterly orientation of many Nebraska streams, tended to magnify flood peaks. The rapid temperature rise started about March 18 in western Nebraska but not until March 26 in the eastern part of the State. As a consequence, flood discharges from the headwaters, often bearing heavy ice floes, arrived in the lower reaches simultaneously with or even ahead of the breakup of the unusually heavy ice cover and caused serious jamming. Comparisons of the peak discharges of the 1960 snowmelt floods with those of previous floods reveal several interesting facts. Peak discharges on the Missouri main stem were appreciably less than those in several other years, largely because of effective reservoir control of upstream runoff, but, many tributaries throughout the report area had maximum discharges for their periods of record. Particularly significant are comparisons at some stations for which historical flood data were available. For example, the peak discharge of the Platte River at Louisville, Nebr., was the greatest since at least 1881, and the peak on the Elkhorn River at Waterloo, Nebr., was the greatest snowmelt flood since at least 1912, although it was less than half of the rain peak of June 12, 1944. \r\n\r\nFollowing a characteristic pattern for snowmelt floods, the peaks on the smaller streams generally were not unusual, but the cumulative effect of widespread high runoff throughout the stream systems caused higher and more outstanding peaks in the larger basins. Peaks due to local rains of high intensity often are more significant for small areas. \r\n\r\nSnowmelt floods occur less frequently than rainfall floods in most basins of this flood area.. Studies made for this report show that an average of only about one out of every four maximum annual flood discharges in the report area results primarily from snowmelt. But for streams flowing from north to south in South Dakota and Iowa, the ratio of snowmelt peaks to rainfall peaks is higher. \r\n\r\nComparisons of 1960 flood volumes with those for previous floods are even more striking than peak-discharge comparisons. Flood volumes at eight selected stations for the maximum 20-day period during March and April 1960 exceeded all previous 20-day volumes with only one exception; the ratios ranged from 3.11 for Vermillion River near Wakonda, S. Dak., to 0.93 for Elkhorn River at Waterloo, Nebr. The ratio of the 20-day volume to the 1960 annual runoff for the same group of stations ranged from 20 percent at Niobrara River near Spencer, Nebr., to 74 percent on the Vermillion River.

S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Geological Survey Division of the Michigan Department of Conservation, is conducting a comprehensive restudy of the iron-bearing districts of Michigan. The use of aeromagnetic data is one of the fastest and most reliable methods for outlining the areal distribution of magnetic iron-formation and thus is of material value in assessing the iron resources of the United States. As part of this program of restudy, aeromagnetic surveys of approximately 4,500 square miles of the Northern Peninsula have been made. The results of several of these surveys have been presented by Balsley and others (1949) and by Wier and others (.1953). This report is about a survey made in 1950, over an area of about 1,400 square miles in Marquette County and ad-· joining strips in northern Dickinson and northeastern Baraga Counties, and a later survey flown in 1961, over about 500 square miles in parts of Marquette, Alger, and Schoolcraft Counties. The Marquette iron range extends in an east-west direction across approximately the west-central part of the area, and iron districts of lesser importance are located at Republic, in the southwestern part of the area, and near Gwinn, in the south -central part of the area.
Aeromagnetic surveys were flown along north-south lines spaced at intervals of one-quarter mile in the western part of the area and at intervals of from about 1 to 3 miles in the eastern part. Lines were flown at approximately 500 feet above the surface or at elevations of 1,100 to 2,400 feet above sea level. The flight path of the aircraft was recorded by a gyrostabilized continuous-strip camera, and elevation was continuously recorded by a radio altimeter. Magnetic measurements were made by an AN/ASQ-3A fluxgate magnetometer. Compilation of aeromagnetic data was by standard methods, described by Balsley ( 1952 ), under the supervision of John Kirby and Frank Petrafeso. The aeromagnetic contours are relative to an arbitrary datum.
Magnetic properties of rocks were measured by W. E. Huff.
At the time the earlier aeromagnetic survey was flown, the only base maps available were planimetric maps such as the Helena NW quadrangle and county road maps. Small errors, therefore, may exist in the location of flight lines and specific aeromagnetic a nomalies.
The major magnetic anomalies and broad areas that have characteristic magnetic patterns are correlated herein with geology as determined from published reports and from mapping done since 1957 by the U. S. Geological Survey in the eastern part of the Marquette iron range. The geology north of the Marquette iron range and west of the line between R. 25 W. and R. 26 W. is based mainly on a compilation made by Robert Reed of the Geological Survey Division of the Michigan Department of Conservation from data in the files of the State Survey. In addition some aeromagnetic features have been checked by ground magnetometer in selected localities and correlated directly with the rock types. A few oriented samples have been collected for measurement of the magnetic properties of the major rock units, but many hundreds or thousands of samples would be required to obtain a full range of values of the magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetization of the rocks over such a large area.
Although the geology of much of the area is still imperfectly known, the available aeromagnetic data together with the best obtainable geologic data are presented at this time, rather than awaiting the eventual extension or completion of the present mapping program, because the combined data provide much information on the extent and location of magnetic iron-formation and other major rock units where concealed beneath glacial, vegetative, and alluvial cover.

The area includes all or a portion of the following towns: Acton, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Hudson, Littleton, Marlborough, Maynard, Stow, Sudbury, and Westford in Middlesex County; Berlin, Bolton, Boylston, Clinton, Grafton, Harvard, Northborough, Shrewsbury, and Westborough in Worcester County (see plate 1 in pocket).
This report presents data collected as part of an investigation of the ground-water resources in the Assabet River basin by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission. The data have been prepared for release in order to make available to the public basic ground-water data that will be useful in the planning of water-resources development.
The data in this report were collected intermittently from 1939 to 1964 by H. A. Wilde, H. L. Pree, H. N. Halberg, J. A. Baker, R. W. Macomber, W. B. Fleck, and S. J. Pollock. The selected data in tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 represent those wells, test wells, and borings that were deemed representative of any given location. Data of some one hundred wells and test wells and over one thousand bridge and roadway borings are not included in this report, but may be inspected at the U.S. Geological Survey, Ground Water Branch, 211 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

A geologic and hydrologic investigation of the valley was made to determine the relation between surface water and ground water and to determine if ground water can be used for irrigation supplies without affecting existing water uses. During the investigation, data were collected for about 700 wells and 26 springs. Monthly water-level measurements were made at 93 observation wells, and automatic recording gages were maintained at 6 additional wells. Chemical analyses were made of water collected from 68 wells and springs. Test holes were drilled at 21 sites to determine the thickness and hydrologic properties of the waterbearing materials. Consumption of ground water by vegetation was estimated on the basis of area and applied rates of evapotranspiration.

This report describes one phase of specific yield research by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hydrologic Laboratory in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources.
An earlier phase of the research concentrated on the final distribution of moisture retained after drainage of saturated columns of porous media. This report presents the phase that concentrated on the distribution of moisture retained in similar columns after drainage for various periods of time.
Five columns, about 4 cm in diameter by 170 cm long, were packed with homogenous sand of very fine, medium, and coarse sizes, and one column was packed with alternating layers of coarse and medium sand. The very fine materials were more uniform in size range than were the medium materials. As the saturated columns drained, tensiometers installed throughout the length recorded changes in moisture tension. The relation of tension to moisture content, determined for each of the materials, was then used to convert the tension readings to moisture content. Data were then available on the distribution of retained moisture for different periods of drainage from 1 to 148 hours. Data also are presented on the final distribution of moisture content by weight and volume and on the degree of saturation.
The final zone of capillary saturation was approximately 12 cm for coarse sand, 13 cm for medium sand, and 52 cm for very fine sand. The data showed these zones were 92 to 100 percent saturated.
Most of the outflow from the columns occurred in the earlier hours of drainage--90 percent in 1 hour for the coarse materials, 50 percent for the medium, and 60 percent for the very fine. Although the largest percentage of the specific yield was reached during the early hours of drainage, this study amply demonstrates that a very long time would be required to reach drainage equilibrium.
In the layered columns the middle (medium sand) layer functioned as a hanging water column accelerating the drainage of the overlying coarse-sand layer. After the middle layer started to drain, the moisture distribution as retained in all three layers showed trends similar to that obtained when the same materials were tested in homogenous columns.

Most data have been obtained only to determine the daily suspended-sediment discharge and the particle-size distribution of suspended sediment and bed material, but a few data have been obtained to study the flow resistance, the vertical distribution of sediment and velocity, and the bed-material discharge. \r\n\r\nThe flow of the Mississippi River at St. Louis is made up of the flows from the Missouri River, which had an average flow of 79,860 cubic feet per second for 1897-1958 at Hermann, Mo., and from the upper Mississippi River, which had an average flow of 91,890 cubic feet per second for 1928-58 at Alton, Il. The Missouri River is partly controlled by reservoirs that had a total capacity of 90,300,000 acre-feet in 1956, and the upper Mississippi River is partly controlled by lakes and reservoirs that had a total capacity of 4,890,000 acre-feet in 1956. The flows of the Missouri and upper Mississippi Rivers have not become mixed at St. Louis; so the river has a lateral gradient of suspended-sediment concentration. The concentration near the west bank has been as much as 2,400 parts per million greater than the concentration near the east bank. \r\n\r\nSuspended-sediment discharges from April 1948 to September 1958 ranged from 4,250 to 7,010,000 tons per day and averaged 496,000 tons per day. Mean concentrations for water years decreased steadily from 1,690 parts per million in 1949 to 403 parts per million in 1956, but they increased to 756 parts per million in 1958. Effects of new reservoirs in the Missouri River basin on the concentration have been obscured by the close relation of concentration to streamflow. Measured suspended-sediment discharge through September 1958 averaged 47 percent clay, 38 percent silt, and 15 percent sand. Variations of particle size were due mainly to differences in the source areas of the sediment. Most of the bed material in the main flow was between 0.125 and 1.000 millimeter in diameter. The average of median diameters was related to the discharge for periods of 1 year and longer. Geometric quartile deviations of the bed material ranged from 1.1 to 2.5 and averaged 1.5. \r\n\r\nThe mean elevation of the bed had a range of almost 10 feet and was related to the median diameter of bed material by the regression equation hb=363.0 - 7.8 d50 for which the standard error of estimate was 0.91 foot. \r\n\r\nThe resistance to flow as measured by Manning's n ranged from 0.024 to 0.041 and was related to the discharge and mean velocity but not to the shear velocity. Normal dune height is 2-8 feet, and average dune length is about 250 feet. When the resistance to flow was low, much of the bed was fairly fiat; a few dunes were present, but they were much longer than the average. For a given discharge during individual rises in stage, the gage height was lower for increasing discharge than for decreasing discharge even though the bed elevation was higher. The changes in gage height were not caused by changes in energy gradient due to changing discharge, by channel storage between the gage and the measuring section, nor by return of overbank flow; but they were probably caused by a combination of changes in roughness due to changing bed configuration and of changes in turbulence constant due to changing sediment concentration. Turbulence constants (Von Karman's k) computed from velocity measurements at 5-10 points in the vertical and from routine velocity measurements at 2 points in the vertical averaged 0.35 and 0.33, respectively. \r\n\r\nThe exponent z1 of the vertical distribution of concentration for different size ranges varied with about the 0.77 power of the fall velocity. Except for the difference between the theoretical variation and the actual variation of z1 with changing fall velocity, the theoretical equation for the vertical distribution of sediment concentration seems to apply reasonably well for the Miss","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.

in the Mesabi and Vermilion Iron Range area, northeastern Minnesota","docAbstract":"Within the Mesabi-Vermilion Iron Range area, water of good quality is available from the Biwabik Iron-Formation, from stratified drift, and from lakes and streams. About 700 bgy (billion gallons a year) leaves the area as surface water, of which about one-third comes from ground water.
\nLeached, oxidized, and fractured parts of the Biwabik Iron-Formation yield as much as 1,000 gpm (gallons per minute) to wells. Much of the permeable stratified drift within the area underlies the Ice-Contact region and the Horainal and Ice-Contact region, and several wells drilled in drift have been pumped at rates of more than 1,000 gpm.
\nParts of three major drainage basins lie within the area, and lakes compose about 5 percent of the area. Low-flow and flood-frequency data have been compiled for many of the streams. Large quantities of surface water are available from the Border-Lakes region and the Morainal and Ice-Contact region.
\nThe quality of ground water from the Biwabik Iron-Formation and from the drift is similar. The water is generally moderately siliceous, hard or very hard, and contains much iron and manganese. Surface water is generally soft, contains much iron, and is highly colored.
\nLarge uses of water in the area include: taconite processing (50 bgy), wash-ore processing (19 bgy), power plants (63 bgy), municipal water supplies (3 bgy) and paper processing (1 bgy). Optimum development of the water resources might be achieved by using streamflow in the spring and stunner and ground-water and surface-water storage in the fall and winter.

Crest-stage gages are used to determine the elevation of a peak stage occurring at a specific location in a stream.
\nA crest-stage gage consists of a length of 14-inch diameter pipe installed in a vertical position in the stream channel (figure 1). The pipe is vented and equipped with an intake system that allows water to enter and leave the pipe as the stream rises and recedes. An equal length of aluminum \"T\" channel (staff) is inserted in the pipe and made to rest on a positive stop called a datum pin. When granulated cork is placed in the gage, the cork will float on the rising stage, then adhere to the staff after the stage recedes. The peak stage is then determined by removing the staff and measuring the distance between the cork line and the lower end of the staff.
\nThe primary purpose of a crest-stage gaging station is to collect hydrologic data for flood-frequency analyses. Collection of data for such analyses involves operating a network of stations for a period of years until sufficient peak flow data are obtained to accurately define flood-frequency curves. Because carelessness in collecting data at the gage site might result in the loss of an entire year's flood event, the importance of proper operation and maintenance of these gages can not be overemphasized.
\nPeak discharges are related to the basin characteristics and major changes in these characteristics must be evaluated. For€st fires, timber harvest, or a new road location that alters the natural drainage of the basin, may effect the intensity and timing of the runoff of the basin.
\nRigid datum controls must be maintained at the gage site throughout the period of record. Physical changes of the site resulting from flood flows or manmade alterations must be evaluated. If a drainage structure such as a culvert is part of the site features, free-flow conditions must be maintained or obstructions carefully documented.

The first is the heavily forested, sparsely populated mountain regions in which quality of water in general is related to geologic and climatological factors. The second is a semiarid plateau east of the Cascade Mountains; there differences in geology and precipitation, together with more intensive use of available water for irrigation, bring about marked differences in water quality. The third is the Willamette-Puget trough area in which are concentrated most of the industry and population and in which water quality is influenced by sewage and industrial waste disposal. \r\n\r\nThe majority of the streams in the lower Columbia River basin are calcium magnesium bicarbonate waters. In general, the rivers rising in the. Coast Range and on the west slope of the Cascade Range contain less than 100 parts per million of dissolved solids, and hardness of the water is less than 50 parts per million. Headwater reaches of the streams on the east slope of the Cascade Range are similar to those on the west slope; but, downstream, irrigation return flows cause the dissolved-solids content and hardness to increase. Most of the waters, however, remain calcium magnesium bicarbonate in type. \r\n\r\nThe highest observed dissolved-solids concentrations and also some changes in chemical composition occur in the streams draining the more arid parts of the area. In these parts, irrigation is chiefly responsible for increasing the dissolved-solids concentration and altering the chemical composition of the streams. The maximum dissolved-solids concentration and hardness of water observed in major irrigation areas were 507 and 262 parts per million, respectively, for the. Walla Walla River near Touchet, Wash. \r\n\r\nIn terms of the U.S. Salinity Laboratory Staff classification (1954, p. 80), water in most streams in the basin has low salinity and sodium hazards and is suitable for irrigation. A salt-balance problem does exist in the Hermiston-Stanfield, Oreg., area of the Umatilla River basin, and because of poor drainage, improper irrigation practices could cause salt-balance problems in the Willamette River Valley, Oreg., in which irrigation is rapidly increasing.\r\n\r\nPollution by sewage disposal has reached undesirable levels in the Walla Walla River, in the Willamette River from Eugene to Portland, Oreg., and in the Columbia River from Portland to Puget Island. In the lower reaches of the Willamette River, the pollution load from sewage and industrial-waste disposal at times depletes the dissolved oxygen in the water to concentrations below what is considered necessary for aquatic life. \r\n\r\nWater in most of the tributaries to the lower Columbia River is of excellent quality and after some treatment could be used for industrial and municipal supplies. The principal treatment required would be disinfection and turbidity removal.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Govt. Print.

Rocks of sedimentary origin include from oldest to youngest:
1.Neruokpuk Formation Middle and Upper Devonian(?), more than 4000 feet thick, a variety of units which represent the greenschist facies, including quartzitic- and schistose-feldspathic graywacke; phyllite, argillite, and slate, as well as dark limestone, sandy limestone, and silicified carbonate rocks. The succession of units in parts of the area is uncertain. Correlations between these units and with others in the eastern Brooks Range are provisional.
2.Kekiktuk Conglomerate and Kayak(?) Shale (Upper Devonian(?) to Upper Mississippian), a single map unit, from absent(?) to 400+ feet thick, containing dark shale Kayak(?) in its uppermost part and quartzite, interbedded dark shale, and some pebble- to boulder-conglomerate in the locally absent lower part (Kekiktuk). The unit overlies the Neruokpuk with angular unconformity, which may reflect either a pre-Kayak(?) or pre-Kekiktuk hiatus or both.
3.Lisburne Group, almost entirely carbonate rocks, and relatively thin in this area, 600 to 800 feet thick. Alapah Limestone (Upper Mississippian), to 560 feet thick, includes gray sandy, crystalline, and cherty limestone; minor dark shale; and dark cherty carbonate rocks in the upper part. The lower contact is gradational with the Kayak(?). Wahoo(?) Limestone (Pennsylvanian(?) to Permian) conformably overlies the Alapah, is absent to 200+ feet thick, and is characterized by light-gray crinoidal limestones in its upper part.
4. Sadlerochit Formation, consisting of three intraconformable units: ferruginous sandstone member (Permian) of ironstained orthoquartzite and dark slate, 175 to 240 feet thick which unconformably overlies the Wahoo(?) and Alapah Limestones; shale member of dark shale, slate, and minor quartzite averaging 400 feet in thickness; and quartzite member (Lower(?) Triassic), 700 feet thick, mostly orthoquartzite with minor shale and conglomerate. The basal clastics were probably shed from the north.
5.Shublik Formation (Middle(?) and Upper Triassic), 600 to 700 feet thick, with the thin phosphatic sandstone member overlain by dark phosphatic limestones and limy shales of the limestone member.
6.Kingak Formation (Jurassic), more than 1000 feet thick. The siltstone member, resistant sandstone and siltstone 75 to 150 feet thick, is overlain by an undetermined thickness of black shale. The basal part contrasts sharply with the underlying Shublik, indicating possible disconformity.
7.Ignek(?) Formation (Cretaceous), represented in the foothills where lithic graywacke, shale, and coaly shale constitute the few exposures examined.
8.Glacial and glaciofluvial materials of five advances recognized on the basis of morphology and position, which are tentatively correlated with five glaciations 15 miles west of the area.
9. Recent alluvial and colluvial deposits including fans which appear to represent at least three stages of encroachment.
The Ramanzof granite, exposed in the Okpilak batholith and Jago stock, is mostly light-gray quartz monzonite to granite, and contains essential quartz, perthitic microcline, albite-oligoclase, and partly chloritized biotite. Limited modal and chemical data are presented. Three textural facies are: 1) porphyritic (marginal), with abundant large microcline megacrysts; 2) variable (middle to marginal), which exhibits textural and mineralogical banding; and 3) coarse (inner to marginal), which is gneissoid to equigranular. Facies relationships appear to be mostly gradational but may be locally intrusive. Some schistose metasedimentary(?) rock occurs in the granite. Aplite dikes, inclusions, tourmaline veins and replacements, and chlorite and quartz veins are locally common, as well as quartz monzonite and mafic igneous dikes. Contacts with Neruokpuk Formation rocks are mostly abrupt, concordant to cross-cutting, and locally adjoin tactite and hornfels of the albite-epidote-hornfels and hornblende-hornfels facies. Contacts with Kekiktuk Conglomerate are apparently gradational through a schistoze zone. Both primary and secondary structural elements are present in the Romanzof in granite. Textural and mineralogical banding and, in general, feldspar foliation are considered to be primary in origin; biotite foliation, gneissic and schistose foliation, and schistose zones are considered secondary. Lead-alpha age of zircons appears to be Late Devonian, K-Ar age of biotite is Cretaceous, possibly indicating updating by later reheating. Field age relationships are inconclusive but suggest pre-Kayak(?) (Upper Devonian) granite emplacement. The pluton is interpreted to be essentially the product of melt crystallization, synorogenically emplaced by forceful injection with minor stoping, and may include marginally granitized rock.
Mafic igneous rocks of altered basaltic composition (greenstones) include dikes in granitic and Neruokpuk Formation rocks, and volcanics(?). A late Paleozoic age is suggested for them.
Structural grain strikes east-northeast; south-dipping elements are common. Structures include the major positive nature of the area (first order), relatively broad folds (second order) which contain small tight folds (third order). Related south-dipping cleavage, schistosity, and biotite foliation in granite in the northern part of the area are cut by prominent sets of transverse joints and faults. Other features are longitudinal normal and reverse faults, at least one large-scale overthrust fault, and sheared zones in granite with possible attendant retrograde metamorphism.
Although Mesozoic and Tertiary deformational features are dominant in northern Alaska, the Romanzof area may have been part of a Late Devonian orogenic belt continuous with one in northern Canada. Three alternate trends of such a belt in northern Alaska are discussed, but evidence is inconclusive.
The mineral potential of the area is largely unknown. Minor amounts of metallic sulfides and oxides are present in granite and Neruokpuk Formation rocks. Analyses of stream silt samples suggest the possibility of tin and beryllium potential. The Shublik Formation contains rock phosphate.
In the central York Mountains, carbonate rocks of Lower and Middle Ordovician age and aggregating at least 8,000 feet thick are thrust northward over slate and argillaceous limestone of pre-Ordovician age which were intruded by gabbro in pre-Ordovician time. Normal faults of four distinct systems cut the thrust plates, and in Late Cretaceous time, stocks of biotite granite, abnormally rich in beryllium, tin, boron and certain other trace elements, pierced the thrust plates. In part following the intrusion of the granites, a strong set of normal faults developed striking N. 60°-85° E. through the central York Mountains and locally these faults cut the granites. Dikes of granite, rhyolite porphyry, and lamprophyre were injected into some of these faults, the lamprophyres being younger. Trace elements in the lamprophyres prove they are mafic rocks probably derived from the lama, and that they cannot be related genetically to granite. Shortly after the intrusion of lamprophyre dikes, ore deposits of tin, beryllium, and fluorite were formed from solutions probably derived from deeply-buried hot granite where the granite was ruptured by normal faults. Ore shoots were localized beneath thrust faults where the faults are intruded by dikes, and a major ore-bearing structure, the Rapid River fault, is mineralized for half its length for a distance of eight miles. The tin deposits contain cassiterite and stannite in topaz greisen with abundant sulfides of copper, lead, zinc, and iron, as well as wolframite. The beryllium deposits contain fluorite, chrysoberyl, diaspore, muscovite, and tourmaline, with trace to small amounts of euclase, bertrandite, helvite, phenikite(?), todorokite and hematite. Beryl occurs sparingly in late veins of quartz and fluorite. Chrysoberyl is the earliest and commonest beryllium mineral, followed by euclase and bertrandite, and then phenakite(?) and beryl. Helvite is restricted to banded skarns near granite, and which consist of magnetite and fluorite. Throughout the district, a strong zonation is displayed from tin deposits in greisen through transitional veins of sulfide minerals with fluorite and chrysoberyl to fluorite-beryllium deposits and thence to barren veins of silica and fluorite with trace amounts of beryllium. This zonal arrangement of deposits probably will be found elsewhere in the world where greisen tin deposits occur in carbonate rocks. The geochemical cycle of the trace elements Be, Sn, W, B, Li, Cu, Pb, Zn and Nb shows that these elements were enriched in the biotite granites and were strongly fractionated among the minerals of granites. Fran the granites, these rare elements moved outward into contact rocks and ore deposits. During the supergene cycle, clear geochemical anomalies were formed in stream sediments, soils and plants near ore deposits, and geochemical prospecting led to the discovery of the beryllium lodes. With the possible exception of zinc and niobium, the rare elements that are associated in the rocks and ores remain associated in the supergene processes. Fixation of zinc in clay soil and tundra plants may account for the relatively small amount of zinc in strew sediments.
Datable Pleistocene events in the York Mountains begin with the Yarmouth Interglaciation when the York Terrace, a wide marine platform, was cut. In Illinoian time, the York Terrace was uplifted almost 400 feet, and during the Sangamon Interglaciation a second marine platform (Lost River Terrace) was cut and is not deformed. During Wisconsin time the widespread York Glaciation was followed by the more restricted Mint River Glaciation. Because uplift of the York Terrace extended into the Bering Strait, it is probable that prior to the uplift in Illinoian time the Bering Strait was a seaway and a barrier to land migration rather than a land bridge.

belt","docAbstract":"The U. S. Geological Survey began, in November 1963, a terrain analysis of the lunar equatorial belt (10°N-10°S, 60° W15°E), on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The purpose of the study is to establish a quantitative classification system in terms of different degrees of relative resolvable roughness, using the best available earth based techniques, the resolution of which averages one kilometer. Those parts of the lunar surface that have the least resolvable roughness at this scale have the highest statistical probability of containing safe landing areas at the one to ten meter scale for both manned and unmanned spacecraft.
This preliminary report is based on eight months work prior to July 1, 1964: an unreviewed manuscript was submitted initially to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on July 27, 1964. The report does not include any data derived from Ranger VII, and manuscript review subsequent to Ranger VII has not revealed the need for any significant changes in the conclusions.
The major results are: 1) a quantitative terrain classification of the equatorial belt, chiefly in the form of a map (Plate 1), but including slope frequency distribution curves for each unit; 2) four larger scale maps (1:1, 000, 000) of the central part of the belt showing the areal distribution pattern of approximately 30, 000 individual slope measurements; 3) a large scale terrain map of the Flamsteed area, studied visually at the Lick 36\" refractor, to determine the relative surface roughness below the limit of photographic resolution: 4) a full discussion of all the major techniques employed in the study, i.e. photometric slope measurement, slope measurement by shadow variation high resolution photography, and visual study techniques; 5) an extrapolation of derived roughness information below the of photographic resolution. The extrapolation is based primarily on the behavior of the lunar slope data through a wide range of resolution and on information derived from studies of different terrestrial areas at varying degrees of resolution.
This report presents a means of determining the probable magnitude and frequency of floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years at most points on streams in the Ohio River basin except Cumberland and Tennessee River basins.
Curves are defined that show the relation between the drainage area and the mean annual flood in eight hydrologic areas, and composite frequency curves define the relation of a flood of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years to the mean annual flood.
These two relations are based upon gaging-station records having 10 or more years of record not materially affected by storage or diversion, and the results obtainable from them will represent the magnitude and frequency of natural floods within the range and recurrence intervals defined by the base data.
The report also contains a compilation of flood records at all sites in the area at which records have been collected for 5 or more consecutive years. As far as was possible at each location for which discharge has been determined, the tabulations include all floods above a selected base. Where only gage heights have been obtained or where the data did not warrant computation of peach discharges above a selected base, only annual peaks are shown.
The maximum known flood discharges for the streamflow stations and miscellaneous points except Ohio River main stem stations, together with areal floods of 10- and 50-year recurrence intervals, are plotted against the size of drainage area for each flood region and hydrologic area to provide a convenient means of judging the frequency of the maximum known floods that have been recorded for these points.

H. Tschudy has analysed the microfossils from a core hole in Mesa County, Colorado. The Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation has yielded a fine assemblage of middle Eocene Fossils, including hystrichosphaerids, pteridophyte and fungus spores and gymnosperm and angiosperm pollen.
The samples are from the Collbran Road 1A core hole: sec. 5, T. 11 S., R. 94 W., Mesa County, Colorado.
The data in this report were collected during the period 1958-64 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, as part of a comprehensive study of the ground-water resources of the alluvium along the Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers between Moffett and Catoosa, Oklahoma (fig. 1). The purpose of this report is to make the hydrologic data obtained during the study of ground water in the alluvium along the Verdigris River in Wagoner and Rogers Counties readily available to the public. The data in this report should be useful in predicting geologic and hydrologic conditions when drilling new wells. Table 1 gives information on the sizes, depths, yields, and other characteristics of wells in the area. The table also provides a key to the additional information for each well site given in tables 2 through 6. Table 2 gives logs for the materials penetrated at test holes and wells in the report area; table 3 gives depths to water measured in wells; table 4 includes chemical analyses of water from wells; table 5 gives laboratory determinations of particle-size distribution of earth samples collected from test holes and wells; and table 6 gives coefficients of permeability and other hydrologic properties of earth samples from the selected test holes. Similar data for Sequoyah County, LeFlore-Haskell Counties, and Muskogee County are available in other open-file reports.
An interpretive report, 'Hydrology of the alluvium of the Arkansas River, Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Fort Smith, Arkansas,' by Harry H. Tanaka and Jerrald R. Hollowell will be published as U.S. Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 1809-T.
