Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, on the Alaska highway system
Reuben Kachadoorian
1968, Professional Paper 545-C
The great earthquake that struck Alaska about 5:36 p.m., Alaska standard time, Friday, March 27, 1964 (03:36:1.3.0, Greenwich mean time, March 28, 1964), severely crippled the highway system in the south-central part of the State. All the major highways and most secondary roads were impaired. Damage totaled more than $46...

Preliminary interpretation of a seismic-refraction profile across the Large Aperture Seismic Array, Montana
C.A. Borcherdt, John C. Roller
1968, Open-File Report 68-15
A reversed seismic-refraction profile extending northeastward from Greycliff, Montana, across the Large Aperture Seismic Array (LASA) to Charleson, North Dakota, indicates that the crust of the earth consists of two layers with P-wave velocities of 6.1 km/sec and 6.7 km/sec, and that the upper-mantle velocity is 8.3 km/sec. The Mohorovicic...
Temperature data from exploratory boreholes at the Supplemental Test Site, central Nevada - interim report
Robert J. Munroe, Thomas H. Moses Jr.
1968, Open-File Report 68-195
In cooperation with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, the U.S. Geological Survey is making precise temperature measurements in exploratory boreholes at the Supplemental Test Site, central Nevada. Together with thermal properties measurements made on the core, and additional temperature measurements in progress these data will he used to estimate geothermal...

Chemical quality of surface waters in Devils Lake basin North Dakota, 1952-60
Hugh T. Mitten, C.H. Scott, Philip G. Rosene
1968, Water Supply Paper 1859-B
Above-normal precipitation in 1954, 1956, and 1957 caused the water surface of Devils Lake to rise to an altitude of 1,419.3 feet, its highest in 40 years. Nearly all the water entering the lake flowed through Big Coulee, and about three-fourths of that inflow was at rates greater than 100...

Estimated use of water in the United States, 1965
Charles Richard Murray
1968, Circular 556
Estimates of water use in the United States for 1965 indicate that an average of about 310 bgd (billion gallons per day) were withdrawn for public-supply, rural domestic and livestock, irrigation, and industrial (including thermoelectric power)uses--that is, about 1,600 gallons per capita per day. This represents an increase of 15...
Utilization of humus-rich forest soil (mull) in geochemical exploration for gold
Gary C. Curtin, H. W. Lakin, G. J. Neuerburg, A.E. Hubert
1968, Circular 562
Distribution of gold in humus-rich forest soil (mull) reflects the known distribution of gold deposits in bedrock in the Empire district, Colorado. Gold from the bedrock is accumulated by pine and aspen trees and is concentrated in the mull by the decay of organic litter from the trees. Anomalies in...
An atomic-absorption method for the determination of gold in large samples of geologic materials
Gordon H. VanSickle, Hubert William Lakin
1968, Circular 561
A laboratory method for the determination of gold in large (100-gram) samples has been developed for use in the study of the gold content of placer deposits and of trace amounts of gold in other geologic materials. In this method the sample is digested with bromine and ethyl ether, the...
Geochemical and geophysical anomalies in the western part of the Sheep Creek Range, Lander County, Nevada
Garland Bayard Gott, Charles J. Zablocki
1968, Circular 595
Extensive geochemical anomalies are present along the west side of the Sheep Creek Range in Lander County, Nev. Anomalous concentrations of zinc, arsenic, mercury, silver, copper, lead, and to some extent gold, molybdenum, and antimony occur in iron-rich material along fracture planes and in quartz veins in Paleozoic formations. A...
