John L. Snider
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 404
Channel samples of the commercially important coal beds and associated rocks in the Pottsville, Allegheny, and Monogahela series of the Pennsylvanian system were collected in eastern Ohio. Equivalent uranium content of 0.001 percent or more was determined in the laboratory for five samples. The uranium content of the coal is...

Pumping from wells on the floor of the Sevier Desert, Utah
W.B. Nelson, H.E. Thomas
1953, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (34) 74-84
Data collected at the Topaz Relocation Center provide an excellent record of the development and subsequent disappearance of a cone of depression caused by pumping. This Center occupied temporarily an area of natural ground‐water discharge on the floor of the Sevier Desert in west‐central Utah. Water for a population of 6500 was pumped from artesian wells which tapped aquifers...

1953, Trace Elements Investigations 389
A sample of subbituminous uraniferous coal from the Red Desert, Sweetwater County, Wyo., was studied mineralogically. The coal contains gypsum (6 percent), kaolinite (1 percent), quartz (0.3 percent), calcite (trace), and limonite (trace). This suite of minerals and the absence of pyrite show that the coal has been subjected to...
