Uranium content of ground and surface waters in western Kansas, eastern Colorado, and the Oklahoma Panhande
E.R. Landis
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 624
During 1954, 1955, and 1956, 324 water samples were collected in western Kansas, eastern Colorado, the Oklahoma Panhandle, and northeastern New Mexico, to determine the uranium content of water from the various rock units and geologic terranes in the region, and to locate areas in which, large amounts of uranium...

Some limitations on the possible composition of the ore-forming fluid
Paul B. Barton Jr.
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 633
The activity rations of various important anions (S, CO3, SO4, OH, F, and Cl) in hydrothermal solutions at the time of deposition are evaluated using a simple thermodynamic technique. The rations are interpreted in the light of the mineralogy of ore deposits and limites are placed on the variability of...
Volumetric determination of uranium using titanous sulfate as reductant before oxidimetric titration
James S. Wahlberg, Dwight L. Skinner, Lewis F. Rader
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 614
A new method for determining uranium in samples containing 0.05 percent or more U3O8, using titanous sulfate as reducing agent, is much shorter, faster, and has fewer interferences than conventional methods using reductor columns. The sample is dissolved with sulfuric, nitric, perchloric, and hydrofluoric acids. Elements that would otherwise form insoluble...
Alteration of sandstone as a guide to uranium deposits and their origin, northern Black Hills, South Dakota
R.C. Vickers
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 568
Several uranium deposits are present in the Fall River sandstone of Early Cretaceous age on the northeast flank of the Black Hills, Butte County, South Dakota. The deposits are within a fine-grained, well-sorted, persistent basal sandstone unit that ranges in thickness from 2 to 18 feet and dips about...

Radiometric traverse along the Yukon River from Fort Yukon to Ruby, Alaska, 1949
Max G. White, John M. Stevens, John J. Matzko
1956, Trace Elements Memorandum 357
In 1949, a radiometric traverse was made of rocks exposed along the banks of and near the Yukon River about Fort Yukon to Ruby, Alaska. Granitic rocks of Tertiary age and of Devonian or Carboniferous age and sandstone beds of Cretaceous age gave the highest readings obtained in the...

The physical behavior and geologic control of radon in mountain streams
Allen S. Rogers
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 619
Radon measurement were made in several small, turbulent mountain streams in the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah, to determine the relationship between the distribution of radon and its geologic environment. In this area, the distribution of radon in streams can be sued to locate points where relatively...

Geology and ore deposits of the Chicago Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colorado
J. E. Harrison, J. D. Wells
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 432
The Chicago Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., forms part of the Front Range mineral belt, which is a northeast-trending belt of coextensive porphyry intrusive rocks and hydrothermal veins of Tertiary age. More than $4.5 million worth of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and uranium was produced from the mines...
Preliminary study of radioactive limonite localities in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming
T.G. Lovering, E.P. Beroni
1956, Trace Elements Investigations 427
Nine radioactive limonite localities of different types were sampled during the spring and fall of 1953 in an effort to establish criteria for differentiating limonite outcrops associated with uranium or thorium deposits from limonite outcrops not associated with such deposits. The samples were analyzed for uranium and thorium by standard...
Ground water in northeastern Louisville, Kentucky with reference to induced infiltration
M. I. Rorabaugh
1956, Water Supply Paper 1360-B
In cooperation with the city of Louisville, Ky., the U. S. Geological Survey made a detailed investigation during the period February 1945 to March 1947 of the ground-water resources of a 3-square-mile area along the Ohio River north-east of Louisville. Test drilling shows that the principal aquifer consists of about...

When the vegetal cover is removed from a land surface, the rate of removal of the soil material, at least initially, increases rapidly. So well known is this principle that it hardly needs restatement.If attention is focused on any individual drainage basin in its natural state, large or small, and...
Thoron-tartaric acid systems for spectrophotometric determination of thorium
F. S. Grimaldi, Mary H. Fletcher
1956, Analytical Chemistry (28) 812-816
Thoron is commonly used for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium. An undesirable feature of its use is its high sensitivity to zirconium. This study describes the use of tartaric acid as a masking reagent for zirconium. Three tartaric acid-thoron systems, developed for the determination of thorium, differ with respect to...
