Suggested exploration target in west-central Maine
Frank Cogswell Canney, Edwin Van Horn Post
1964, Open-File Report 64-31
Reconnaissance geochemical drainage surveys have located a stream in the southern part of the Long Pond quadrangle in Somerset County, Maine, where the active stream sediment contains as much as 2,500 parts per million (ppm) lead and 7,000 ppm zinc. Although this anomaly has been known for some time, its...
Geology of the Andover Granite and surrounding rocks, Massachusetts
Robert O. Castle
1964, Open-File Report 64-33
Field and petrographic studies of the Andover Granite and surrounding rocks have afforded an opportunity for an explanation of its emplacement and crystallization. The investigation has contributed secondarily to an understanding of the geologic history of southeastern New England, particularly as it is revealed in the Lawrence, Wilmington, South Groveland,...

Reconnaissance geochemistry of stream sediments from three areas near Juneau, Alaska
Henry C. Berg
1964, Open-File Report 64-13
Results of a preliminary inquiry into background metal content of stream sediments near Juneau, Alaska, and whether this background is related to geologic terrane indicate that stream sediments derived chiefly from metamorphic rocks show significantly higher modal nickel, zinc, and arsenic than do sediments derived mainly from sedimentary or igneous...
Amazon River investigations, reconnaissance measurements of July 1963
Roy Edwin Oltman, H. O’R. Sternberg, F.C. Ames, L.C. Davis
1964, Circular 486
The first measurements of the flow of the Amazon River were made in July 1963 as a joint project of the University of Brazil, the Brazilian Navy, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The discharge of the Amazon River at Obidos was 7,640,000 cfs at an annual flood stage somewhat lower...

The Water Supply of El Morro National Monument
Samuel Wilson West, Helene Louise Baldwin
1964, Water Supply Paper 1766
In the land of enchantment, between Gallup and Grants, N. Mex., near the Zuni Mountains, a huge sandstone bluff rises abruptly 200 feet above the plain. The Spaniards called it 'El Morro,' which means 'the headland' or 'bluff.' Around it are other mesas and canyons and stands of pinon and...

Sedimentation in three small forested drainage basins in the Alsea River basin, Oregon
R.C. Williams
1964, Circular 490
A multidiscipline investigation to determine the effects of logging on the ecology of three small forested tributary basins is a part of an overall study of the Alsea River basin in the Coast Range of Oregon. The investigation of these small basins will be to (1) establish pre-logging conditions, (2)...
Mercury - Its occurrence and economic trends
Edgar H. Bailey, Roscoe M. Smith
1964, Circular 496
In 1963 the domestic production of primary mercury was less than one-fourth of the domestic consumption, largely because a series of years of declining price led to the closing of most of the domestic mines. During 1963 and 1964 the U.S. price, which usually responds to world price, increased from...
