Physical exploration for uranium during 1951 in the Silver Reef district, Washington County, Utah
Frederick Stugard Jr.
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 254
During 1951 a joint exploration program of the most promising uraniferous areas in the Silver Reef district was made by the U.S. Geological Survey and the u.S. Atomic Energy Commission. A U.S. Bureau of Mines drill crew, on contract to the Atomic Energy Commission, did 2,450 feet of diamond drilling...
Uranium-bearing coal and carbonaceous shale in La Ventana Mesa area, Sandoval County, New Mexico
James D. Vine, George O. Bachman, Charles B. Read, George W. Moore
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 241
Uranium-bearing coal, carboanceous shale, and carboaceous sandstone of Upper Cretaceous age occur on and adjacent to La Ventana Mesa, Sandoval County, New Mexico. The geologic features of the uranium deposits are described and a hypothesis for the origin and control of the uranium deposits are described and a hypothesis for...
A life history study of the yellow throat
R. E. Stewart
1953, The Wilson Bulletin (65) 99-115
Investigations concerning the life history of the Yellow-throat were made in southern Michigan during the spring and summer of 1938. Supplementary information was also obtained at Arlington, Virginia, in 1940 and at the Patuxent Research Refuge, Maryland, in 1947.....Resident males established territories almost immediately upon arrival in spring. In southern...
Relationship between chemical structure and rat repellency
E. Bellack, J.B. DeWitt, R. Treichler
1953, National Research Council, Chemical-Biological Coordination Center Review (No. 5) 48-156
Repellent activity is defined as the activity of a compound in preventing consumption of, or gnawing attacks upon, foodstuffs or articles containing or treated with the candidate substance. Data are presented on repellency indices of 2700 compounds, and it is shown that repellency is associated with specific functional groups attached...

Summary of investigations of uranium deposits in the Pumpkin Buttes area, Johnson and Campbell Counties, Wyoming
Max L. Troyer, Edward J. McKay, Paul E. Soister, Stewart R. Wallace
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 345
Uranium minerals were discovered in the Pumpkin Buttes area Campbell and Johnson Counties by the U.S. Geological Survey in October 1951 From June to November 1952 an area of about 750 square miles was examined for uranium deposits, and 211 localities with abnormally high radioactivity were found uranium minerals are...
A magnetic investigation of the Round Mountain plug, Castle Valley, Grand County, Utah
R.A. Black
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 342
A magnetic survey was made in Castle Valley, Grand County, Utah, to determine if the Round Mountain plug was fed laterally from the La Sal Mountains or vertically from a source at depth. Additional measurements were made around the exposure of igneous rock to obtain the shape of the plug...
Geology of carnotite-bearing sandstone in the Uravan and Gateway districts, Montrose and Mesa counties, Colorado, and Grand County, Utah
E. J. McKay
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 283
Most of the caraotite deposits in the Uravan and Gateway mining districts ate in the persistent upper sandstone stratum of the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Morrison formation, Areas In which this stratum is predominantly lenticular have been delimited from areas in which this stratum is predominantly nonlenticularar. Ground...

Uranium-bearing carbonaceous shale and lignite in the Goose Creek district, Cassia County, Idaho, Boxelder County, Utah and Elko County, Nevada
William Jameson Mapel, William James Hail
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 339
The Goose Creek district includes about 260 miles in southern Cassia County, Idaho, and adjacent parts of Boxelder County, Utah, and Elko County Nev. The-area comprises the northern and central parts of an intermontane basin drained by northward-flowing Goose Creek and its tributaries. An essentially conformable sequence of fluviatile, lacustrine, and...
Montroseite, a new vanadium oxide from the Colorado plateaus
Alice D. Weeks, Evelyn A. Cisney, Alexander M. Sherwood
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 335
Montroseite, a new vanadium mineral named from Montrose County, Colorado, has been found in four mines in western Colorado and in two mines in eastern Utah. It is black, opaque, submetallic, and occurs in microscopic bladed crystals of the orthorhombic dipyramidal class. The axial ratio is a:b:c = 0.509:1:0.310, the...
Airborne radioactivity surveys for phosphate in Florida
Robert M. Moxham
1953, Trace Elements Investigations 387
Airborne radioactivity surveys totalling 5,600 traverse miles were made in ten areas in Florida, which were thought to be geologically favorable for the occurrence of uraniferous phosphate deposits. Abnormal radioactivity was recorded in eight of the ten areas surveyed. The anomalies are located in Bradford, Clay, Columbia, DeSoto, Dixie, Lake,...
