Measurement of earth pressure in the iron-ore mines of eastern France
M.E. Tincelin
1953, Open-File Report 54-30
The purpose of the tests, which will be reported later, is to measure as precisely as possible the tangential stresses exerted on the periphery of a gallery cut in the Lorraine iron ore. The values of the tangential stresses along the periphery being known, they will be compared with the values...

Marine geology of the Near Islands Shelf, Alaska
Philip Challacombe Scruton
1953, Open-File Report 53-245
During the summer of 1950 on the insular shelf surrounding the Near Islands, Alaska, 193 oceanographic stations were occupied from aboard the U. S. Geological Survey vessel EIDER. Bottom character and temperature observations were made at these stations. The composition and size distribution characteristics of the bottom samples have been...
Stratigraphic sections of the Phosphoria formation measured and sampled in 1952
Thomas McGiffin Cheney, R.P. Sheldon, E. R. Cressman, R.A. Smart, L.D. Carswell
1953, Open-File Report 53-36
A series of reports presenting detailed stratigraphic sections and analyses of samples of the Phosphoria formation in the western phosphate field is being prepared for publication as U. S. Geological Survey Circulars. To speed the availability of these data to industry and others having immediate need for such basic information,...

Water supply of the Birmingham area, Alabama
W.H. Robinson, J.B. Ivey, G. A. Billingsley
1953, Circular 254
Sufficient water is available in the streams of the area surrounding Birmingham to supply any foreseeable demand; however, to utilize these streams impounding reservoirs and rather long supply lines will be required. Moderate supplies of ground water are available from wells, springs, and mines. The average water use in the...

Ground-water resources of the Rapid Valley unit, Cheyenne Division, South Dakota, with a section on the surface waters of Rapid Valley
Arthur J. Rosier, L.J. Snell
1953, Circular 201
The Rapid Valley unit is in Pennington County, S. Dak., and extends from the east city limits of Rapid City southeastward for 21 miles along Rapid Creek. The bedrock formations that underlie the region are chiefly marine in origin, and they generally dip eastward from the center of the Black Hills...

Yellow Canary uranium deposits, Daggett County, Utah
Verl Richard Wilmarth
1953, Circular 312
The Yellow Canary uranium deposit is on the west side of Red Creek Canyon in the northern part of the Uinta Mountains, Daggett County, Utah. Two claims have been developed by means of an adit, three opencuts, and several hundred feet of bulldozer trenches. No uranium ore has been produced...

Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the lower Yukon-Kuskokwim Highlands region, Alaska
M.G. White, P.L. Killeen
1953, Circular 255
Investigations in 1947 in the Lower Yukon-Kuskokwim region, Alaska found that previously reported radioactivity in the vicinity of Flat is due to uraniferous zircon, an accessory mineral in monzonite. The monzonite intrudes mafic igneous and Upper Cretaceous sedimentary rocks. The maximum equivalent-uranium content of the zircon is 0.14 percent, and...
Reconnaissance for radioactive deposits in the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, 1948
Walter S. West
1953, Circular 300
Radioactivity in the southern and eastern parts of the Darby Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, appears to be directly related to the occurrence of granite. Concentrates from placers derived from areas containing granite are more radioactive than concentrates from placers not derived from the granite and, generally, contain from 0.01 to...

In July 1952 an occurrence of autunite was found in the northern part of the Black Hills, South Dakota, during a reconnaissance for radioactive deposits. The autunite occurs as fracture coatings and disseminations in siltstone of the Deadwood formation of Cambrian age and is concentrated mainly in the lower 2...
