Distribution of leached radioactive material in the Legin Group Area, San Miguel County, Colorado
Allen S. Rogers
1950, Trace Elements Memorandum 171
Radioactivity anomalies, which are small in magnitude, and probably are not caused by extensions of known uranium-vanadium ore bodies, were detected during the gamma-ray logging of diamond-drill holes in the Legin group of claims, southwest San Miguel County, Colo. The positions of these anomalies are at the top surfaces of...
Field investigation of airborne radioactivity anomalies in Marquette County, Michigan
Harold L. James
1950, Trace Elements Memorandum 159
The broad radioactivity anomalies recorded by the airborne detector in the vicinity of Republic, Marquette County, Michigan, coincide rather closely with parts of a granitic complex chiefly of Archean age. Ground examination of the rock in these areas of high radioactivity shows that the granitic rock typically yields two to...
The Papsy's Hope autunite prospect, Marysvale District, Piute County, Utah
Edward P. Kaiser
1950, Trace Elements Memorandum 145
The Papsy's Hope autunite prospect is in the eastern part of the Marysvale district, Piute County, Utah, about 1 1/2 miles northeast of the mines now operating. It is developed by two shallow cuts and a short incline shaft. One cut exposes a zone of fractures, sparse quartz veins,...
Modification to Tracerlab Automatic Sample Changer
F.J. Flanegan, J. M. Nelson, J.J. Warr Jr.
1950, Trace Elements Memorandum 142
The U.S. Geological Survey has recently modified the Tracerlab Automatic Sample Changer so that the geometry is greatly improved for counting larger low-activity samples in finely ground form. The larger sample and larger Geiger Mueller tubes allow a greater number of samples to be counted per hour with the same...
Spectrographic analysis of coal and coal ash
R.G. Hunter, A.J.W. Headlee
1950, Analytical Chemistry (22) 441-445
Coal can be analyzed on the spectrograph for per cent ash and composition of ash in a matter of a few minutes, using the total energy method. The composition of the ash so determined can be used to calculate ash softening temperatures. This analysis can be made in sufficiently short...

The Driftwood anticline
William A. Fischer
1949, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 9
Recent interest in the anticlines near the headwaters of the Utukok River has prompted the issuance of two special reports. This, the first of the two reports, deals with the Driftwood anticlines, the second will consider the Awuna anticline and the western part of the Carbon Creek anticline.At present, only...
Fact and fiction in spawntaking: Addenda

Geology of the Roswell artesian basin, New Mexico, and its relation to the Hondo Reservoir and Effect on artesian aquifer storage of flood water in Hondo Reservoir
Robert T. Bean, Charles V. Theis
1949, Technical Report 9
In the Roswell Basin in southeastern New Mexico artesian water is produced from cavernous zones in the carbonate rocks of the San Andres formation and the lower part of the Chalk Bluff formation, both of Permian age. The Hondo Reservoir, 9 miles west-southwest of Roswell, was completed by the U....

Ecology of a nesting red-shouldered hawk population
R. E. Stewart
1949, The Wilson Bulletin (61) 26-35
An ecological study of a nesting Red-shouldered Hawk population was made over a 185 square mile area on the Coastal Plain of Maryland in 1947. The courting and nesting season extended from late February until late June.....During the nesting season a combination of fairly extensive flood-plain forest with adjacent clearings...
Rodent-repellent studies. III. Advanced studies in the evaluation of chemical repellents
E. Bellack, J.B. DeWitt
1949, Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Scientific Edition (39) 197-202
In order to bridge the gap between preliminary screening of chemicals for potential rodent repellency and the application of these compounds to paper cartons, more advanced studies in the evaluation of promising materials have been carried out. These studies have resulted in: (1) a modification of the food acceptance technique...
