Experimental drilling in Chattanooga shale
Andrew Brown
1948, Trace Elements Memorandum 63
Information on which specifications were originally drawn for drilling the Chattanooga shale was obtained largely from the TVA, whose geologists and driller laid great stress on the difficulties of maintaining circulation in their ho;es. The stated that the shale itself was not particularly difficult to core, the trouble being...
Monazite in concentrations from Idaho placer operations
1948, Trace Elements Memorandum 56
During the summer of 1947 the Atomic Energy Commission informally requested the Geological Survey collect sampled of concentrates from Idaho placer operations that might be useful for experimental study of monazite recovery. Some fourteen active gold-dredging operations were examined and sampled by Fred M. Chase during August and September 1947....

1948, Report
The Volcano Letter was an informal publication issued at irregular intervals by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) during the years 1925 to 1955. Individual issues contain information on volcanic activity, volcano research, and volcano monitoring in Hawaii. Information on volcanic activity at other locations is also occasionally included.The Volcano Letter...
Preliminary report on the geology along the route of a proposed tunnel to develop hydroelectric power from Eklutna Lake, Alaska
F.F. Barnes
1948, Open-File Report 48-11
A preliminary investigation of the geology of the ridge north- west of the lower end of Eklutna Lake was made in the period June 11-18, 1947, by the writer, assisted by L. A. Hale. The purpose of this study was to obtain geological information bearing on the feasibility of constructing a tunnel through this...
Preliminary notes on distribution of uranium in the Florida pebble phosphate field and suggestions for studying and sampling
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1948, Trace Elements Memorandum 73
The accompanying map and sections show examples of the present state of information about the occurrence of the "Leached" uranium-bearing bed in the Florida pebble phosphate district. The dashed lines on the map define, as closely as present data permit, the limit of the area in which this bed...
Discharge and sediment loads in the Boise River drainage basin, Idaho 1939-40
S. K. Love, Paul Charles Benedict
1948, Water Supply Paper 1048
The Boise River project is a highly developed agricultural area comprising some 520 square miles of valley and bench lands in southwestern Idaho. Water for irrigation is obtained from the Boise River and its tributaries which are regulated by storage in Arrow Rock and Deer Flat reservoirs. Distribution of water...
Turbidity as a factor in the decline of Great Lakes fishes with special reference to Lake Erie
John Van Oosten
1948, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (75) 281-322
Fish live and thrive in water with turbidities that range above 400 p.p.m. and average 200 p.p.m. The waters of the Great Lakes usually are clear except in Lake Erie where the turbidities of the inshore areas averaged 37 p.p.m.; the turbidities of the offshore waters averaged less. Lake Erie...
Standardization of methods of expressing lengths and weights of fish
Ralph Hile
1948, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (75) 157-164
Fishery workers in the United States and Canada are unable to think readily in terms of the metric system of weights and measurements. Even long experience does not make it possible to form a clear idea as to the actual size of fish for which lengths and weights are given...

Disease control in hatchery fish
F. F. Fish
1947, Report
A direct method for controlling diseases among hatchery fish has long been sought as an alternative to the earlier technique of hand dipping. A simple, practical, effective method of direct pond treatment not only obviates all need for handling fish weakened by disease, but it would materially reduce the time...

Methods used in estimating the groundwater supply in the Wichita, Kansas well-field area
Charles C. Williams, Stanley William Lohman
1947, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (28) 120-131
This paper presents the methods used in studying the groundwater hydrology of an area in Harvey and Sedgwick Counties, Kansas, from which the city of Wichita derives its water supply. A summary of the data available for study is presented and several hydrologic factors are evaluated. The relationship between...
Instructions for flood frequency compilations
U.S. Geological Survey Water Resources Branch
1947, Report
These instructions are designed to facilitate work in this field, but are not to be considered as final and complete. They will be revised as needed to incorporate new ideas and experience gained in this field. For that reason, if use is planned any great period after the date shown...
