Geology of the Midnite uranium mine, Stevens County, Washington; a preliminary report
J. Thomas Nash, Norman J. Lehrman
1975, Open-File Report 75-402
The Midnite mine is one of only two mines in the United States currently producing uranium from discordant deposits in crystalline host rocks. Ore bodies are in metamorphosed steeply dipping Precambrian pelitic and calcareous rocks of a roof pendant adjacent to a Cretaceous(?) porphyritic quartz monzonite pluton. Production during 14...
Titanium minerals in deposits of other minerals
Eric R. Force
1975, Open-File Report 75-34
Titanium minerals in amounts equivalent to a significant portion of present world production are moved but not recovered from mines of other commodities. Resources of this type total in the millions of tons of contained TiO2. Among the possible sources for byproduct titanium are (1) ilnenite and minor rutile detrital...

Ground water in the middle Arkansas River basin, Kansas and Oklahoma
Stuart Wesley Fader, Robert B. Morton
1975, Open-File Report 75-367
Ground water in the Middle Arkansas River basin occurs in consolidated rocks and unconsolidated deposits. Wells for domestic and stock supply generally can be drilled successfully in consolidated rocks. Wells for large-scale municipal, industrial, and irrigation supplies generally are successful in areas underlain by saturated unconsolidated deposits of sand and...
A general outline of the water resources of the Toppenish Creek basin, Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington
Dean O. Gregg, Leslie Bostwick Laird
1975, Open-File Report 75-19
Increasing demands for water supplies, plans for irrigating new lands, proposals to divert water from the Yakima River by users downstream from the reservation, and ground-water problems have made an accounting of the overall availability of water very important to water management on the reservation. This report, which broadly outlines...
Experimental results of atomic absorption analyses for indium and thallium in 803 nonmagnetic concentrates from Alaska
William C. Overstreet, George L. Crenshaw, Arthur E. Hubert, Sam Rosenblum, Ricke J. Smith
1975, Open-File Report 75-253
The development in the U.S. Geological Survey of rapid methods for the determination by atomic absorption spectrophotometry of indium and thallium at limits of detection as low as 0.2 ppm each in geologic materials affords great advantages over spectrographic methods in studies concerned with values at or near the crustal...

Physical factors determining the fraction of stored energy recoverable from hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas
Manuel Nathenson
1975, Open-File Report 75-525
This report contains background analyses for the estimates of Nathenson and Muffler (1975) of geothermal resources in hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas. The first section discusses heat and fluid recharge potential of geothermal reservoirs. The second section analyzes the physical factors that determine the fraction of stored energy obtainable...

Ground water in the Grand (Neosho) River basin, Kansas and Oklahoma
Robert B. Morton, Stuart W. Fader
1975, Open-File Report 75-366
Ground water in the Grand (Neosho) River basin occurs in both consolidated rocks and unconsolidated deposits. Water for domestic and stock supplies generally can be obtained from wells in either of the above deposits. Water for municipal, industrial, and irrigation supplies generally can be obtained in limited quantities from the...
Surface-water availability, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama
Alfred L. Knight, Marvin E. Davis
1975, Open-File Report 75-458
The average annual runoff, about 1,270 mgd (million gallons per day), originating in Tuscaloosa County is equivalent to 20 inches or 0.95 mgd per square mile. The Black Warrior and Sipsey Rivers, the largest streams in the county, have average flows of 5,230 mgd and 580 mgd, respectively, where they...
Water availability of Washington County, Alabama
John G. Newton, Jerald F. McCain, James D. Turner
1975, Open-File Report 75-476
Large quantities of ground water and surface water are available in Washington County. Major sources of ground water are the Gosport Sand and Lisbon Formation undifferentiated, the Miocene Series undifferentiated, and alluvium and low terrace deposits. The Miocene, the most productive source of ground water, will yield 0.5 to 1.0...
