Uranium resources in the Silver Reef (Harrisburg) District, Washington County, Utah
Frederick Stugard Jr.
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 214
The Silver Reef district is near Leeds, about 16 miles north of St. George, Utah. The major structural feature of the district is the Virgin anticline, a fold extending southwestward toward St 0 George. The anticline has been breached by erosion, and sandstone hogbacks or “reefs” are carved from the Shinarump conglomerate and sandstone...
Preliminary statement of the analyses of ground water from the Morrison Formation, southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah
David A. Phoenix
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 137
As part of a study of the carnotite deposits of the Colorado Plateau,, samples of ground water from the Salt Wash sandstone and Brushy Basin shale members of the Morrison formation have been analyzed to determine their chemical character and metal content. The Salt Wash ground water is largely a...
Ground water in alluvial deposits in Oklahoma
S.L. Schoff, E.W. Reed
1951, Economic Geology (46) 76-83
Alluvium along main streams in Oklahoma has long been recognized as a generally dependable aquifer. Pumping tests made in recent years afford a means of comparing one area with another. They indicate coefficients of transmissibility on the order of 70,000 gallons per day per foot in the Arkansas River alluvium near Fort Gibson, and 60,000 in the North Canadian...

The volcano letter: A weekly news leaflet of the Hawaiian Volcano Research Association - 1951
1951, 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...
Apache Trail uranium prospect, White Signal district, Grant County, New Mexico
Herman L. Bauer Jr.
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 121
The Apache Trail uranium prospect in the White Signal district, Grant County. N. Mex., was mapped by the Geological Survey in May 1950. Pre-Cambrian granite is cut by a diabase dike and a parallel quartz-hematite vein, both of which strike easterly and dip 60 to 65 degrees north. Small quantities...
Stratigraphic sections of the Phosphoria formation in Idaho, 1947-48, Part III
F.W. O’Malley, D.F. Davidson, R.A. Hoppin, R.P. Sheldon
1951, Trace Elements Investigations 188
.The U.S. Geological Survey has measured and sampled the Phosphoria formation at many localities in Idaho and other western states. These data will not be fully synthesized and analyzed for several years but segments of the data, accompanied by little or no interpretation, are published as preliminary reports as they...
Airborne radioactivity survey in the vicinity of Grants, McKinley and Valencia Counties, New Mexico
Frank W. Stead
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 161
An airborne radioactivity survey in the vicinity of Grants, New Mexico, was made on May 28. 1951; aeromagnetic measurements were made concurrently with the radioactivity measurements. Several radioactivity anomalies were noted in conjunction with negative magnetic anomalies; this association is unusual and may reflect a genetic relationship between the uranium...
Notes on the manganese ores of Brazil
C. F. Park Jr., J. V. N. Dorr, P. W. Guild, A. L. M. Barbosa
1951, Economic Geology (46) 1-22
Brazil has been a small but consistent source of manganese ore for world markets during the last five decades. Production both for export and for domestic use is likely to increase. Deposits can be classified into syngenetic (the primary manganese sediments in iron formation at Urucum) and epigenetic. The epigenetic...
Preliminary report on the geology and ground-water supply of the Newark, New Jersey, area
Henry Herpers, Henry C. Barksdale
1951, Special Report (New Jersey Division of Water Policy and Supply) 10
In the Newark area, ground water is used chiefly for industrial cooling, air-conditioning, general processing, and for sanitary purposes. A small amount is used in the manufacture of beverages. Total ground-water pumpage in Newark is estimated at not less than 20,000,000 gallons daily. The Newark area is underlain by formations of...

Ground-water situation in Oregon
R. C. Newcomb
1951, Report
The water that occurs beneath the land surface follows definite and well-known rules of hydraulics, the same as water on the surface. However, ground water must be studied by methods, some of which are unique to that type of water occurrence, in order to evaluate the part it plays in...

Aromatic fluorine compounds. II. 1,2,4,5-Tetrafluorobenzene and related compounds
G. C. Finger, F.H. Reed, D.M. Burness, D.M. Fort, R.R. Blough
1951, Journal of the American Chemical Society (73) 145-149
The synthesis and properties of 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene and a group of bromofluoro and chlorofluorobenzenes with a predominating 1,2,4,5-structure are described. Flash point and surface tension data for the fluorinated benzenes and the influence of chlorine substitution upon these values were studied. Under nitration conditions, 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene will not form a nitro derivative,...
Determination of molybenum in soils and rocks: A geochemical semimicro field method
F. N. Ward
1951, Analytical Chemistry (23) 788-790
Reconnaissance work in geochemical prospecting requires a simple, rapid, and moderately accurate method for the determination of small amounts of molybdenum in soils and rocks. The useful range of the suggested procedure is from 1 to 32 p.p.m. of molybdenum, but the upper limit can be extended. Duplicate determinations on...
Determination of lithium in rocks: Fluorometric method
C. E. White, M. H. Fletcher, J. Parks
1951, Analytical Chemistry (23) 478-481
The gravimetric method in general use for the determination of lithium is tedious, and the final weighed product often contains other alkali metals. A fluorometric method was developed to shorten the time required for the analysis and to assure that the final determination is for lithium alone. This procedure is...
