The spectrophotometric determination of uranium by means of the azide ion
H.I. Feinstein
1956, Analytica Chimica Acta (15) 288-291
A method has been devised for the spectrophotometric determination of uranium by means of the azide ion. The method possesses several advantages over the various thiocyanate procedures. It has a slightly higher sensitivity, an aqueous medium is used, and the reaction product is more stable. Within the concentration limits tested,...
Prediction of ground‐water levels on basis of rainfall and temperate correlations
Matthew Irvin Rorabaugh
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 436-441
A method for predicting ground‐water levels in the glacial‐outwash deposits in the Ohio River valley near Louisville involves development of curves by graphical correlation to define the effects of winter precipitation and winter temperature on recharge to the water table, and to determine the decline of the water table as...

Reservoir capacity of mississippian limestones in the hopkinsville Quadrangle, Kentucky
Eugene H. Walker
1956, GSA Bulletin (67) 1431-1440
Beds composed of oölites or of shell fragments are more soluble than beds of fine-grained or earthy limestone. Vertical crevices are most likely to develop where joints traverse the more soluble beds; bedding-plane crevices in the same beds are likely to form directly above shale partings that are somewhat thicker...
Geophysical studies in the intermontane basins in southern California
Don R. Mabey
1956, Geophysics (21) 839-853
Geophysical surveys were made by the U. S. Geological Survey in Searles Lake basin and in the Mojave Desert near Barstow, California to test the application of geophysical exploration to the study of the geologic problems associated with the intermontane basins of southern California. In Searles Lake basin a coordinated...
Numerical analysis of regional water levels to define aquifer hydrology
Robert W. Stallman
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 451-460
Two fundamental methods for studying aquifer hydrology are now in use. The first, applied many years ago, consists of detailed observation of aquifer inflow, outflow, and storage changes, and their variations in time. By analysis of these observations, estimates of the perennial recharge to the aquifer and other pertinent hydrologic...
Tidal fluctuations of water level observed in wells in East Tennessee
R. M. Richardson
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 461-462
Semidiurnal water‐level fluctuations of tidal period have been observed in wells completed in the Chickamauga limestone of Middle and Late Ordovician age in east Tennessee. The periodic oscillations of the water level are similar to fluctuations in artesian pressure that in other localities have been recognized and correlated with earth...
Subsidence of the land surface in the Tulare‐Wasco (Delano) and Los Banos‐Kettleman City area, San Joaquin Valley, California
J. F. Poland, G. H. Davis
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 287-296
Releveling of bench marks in 1953 and 1954 by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey indicates that subsidence of the land surface has now exceeded ten feet in two areas of the San Joaquin Valley. In the Tulare‐Wasco (or Delano) area of Tulare County, subsidence which was as much...
Forecasting the dry‐weather flow of Pond Creek, Oklahoma: A progress report
William E. Clark
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 442-450
Pond Creek in west‐central Oklahoma drains an area of 319 sq mi above the gaging station near Fort Cobb, Caddo County. Ground water, contained in the Permian Rush Springs sandstone under water‐table conditions, moves toward the creek at an almost unchanging rate. The discharge of ground water into the creek...
Silica in hot-spring waters
Donald E. White, W. W. Brannock, K. J. Murata
1956, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (10) 27-29
The silica in hot-spring waters and in a few cold waters was studied by moans of the colorimetrie ammonium-molybdate method of analysis. Murata found in 1947 that only a part of the total silica in aged samples of high-silica waters was determinable by the colorimetric method. Weitz, franck And schuchard later showed that...
Geochemistry of sphalerite from the Star Mine, Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho
V.C. Fryklund, Janet D. Fletcher
1956, Economic Geology (51) 223-247
Forty sphalerite samples from the Star mine, Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho, and 19 sphalerite samples from other Coeur d'Alene mines have been quantitatively analyzed by spectrographic methods for Fe, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ga, Ge, In, Mn, Co, and Hg. The samples from the Star vein were collected over a strike...
Uranium deposits of the northern part of the Boulder Batholith, Montana
G.E. Becraft
1956, Economic Geology (51) 362-374
Uranium minerals and radioactivity anomalies occur in many silverlead veins and chalcedony veins and vein zones in the Boulder batholith of southwestern Montana. Pitchblende has been identified in a few silverlead veins. These silver-lead veins occupy shear zones along which there is no evidence of large-scale lateral displacement. The wall...
A petrographic study of Gila Polychrome
E.B. Danson, R.M. Wallace
1956, American Antiquity (22) 180-183
Gila Polychrome pottery has been recognized since the time of the earliest archaeological work in the Southwest. Cushing, in 1887–88, recognized in the polychromes at Los Muertos and other Classic period sites of the Hohokam area the pottery type we now call Gila Polychrome. As more of the Southwest became...

Discussion of “The displacement of calibration curves for electrical soil‐moisture units”
F. R. Dreibelbis, Irwin Remson, G. S. Fox
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 497-499
This paper seems to leave unanswered a number of questions pertaining to calibration of soil‐moisture units. In Remson and Fox's discussion of results they list five facts that are shown by the calibration.The first three deal with the second drying curve being different than the first, and subsequent dryings being...

Application of the modified Einstein procedure for computation of total sediment load
K. B. Schroeder, C. H. Hembree
1956, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (37) 197-212
A method that enables good estimates to be made of total sediment load has been tested with data from several western streams. The method, which uses both theoretical and empirical formulas, combines a modification of Einstein's procedure for computing bed‐material load and the usually available data from suspended‐sediment measurements. Basic...
