Geology and ore deposits of the Klondike Ridge area, Colorado
John David Vogel
1960, Open-File Report 60-145
The region described in this report is in the northeastern part of the Colorado Plateau and is transitional between two major structural elements. The western part is typical of the salt anticline region of the Plateau, but the eastern part has features which reflect movements in the nearby San Juan...
Petrography of the Upper Cambrian dolomites of Warren County, New Jersey
Valentine E. Zadnik
1960, Open-File Report 60-162
Petrographic investigation of the Upper Cambrian dolomites along the Delaware River in Warren County, New Jersey, has led to the distinction of six different microfacies each representing a specific sedimentary environment. In order of decreasing relative depth these microfacies are: dololutite, dolarenite, oolitic dolarenite, dolorudite, cryptozoan dolomite and desiccation dolorudite....
Geology of damsites on the upper tributaries of the Columbia River in Idaho and Montana - Knowles and Perma damsites, lower Flathead River, Sanders County, Montana
Kenneth S. Soward
1960, Open-File Report 60-128
Knowles and Perma damsites, at river miles 3 and 11 respectively, are alternates for developing the lower Flathead River. A high dam with a flow line at altitude 2,705 feet would back water to Kerr Dam at river mile 72 and would produce a hydraulic head of 235 feet at...

A preliminary report on the copper-cobalt deposits of the Quartzburg district, Grant County, Oregon
John Stewart Vhay
1960, Open-File Report 60-143
The copper- and cobalt-bearing veins of part of the Quartzburg district are in fracture zones trending about N. 70 degrees E. in folded Permian (?) metavolcanic rocks on the southwest side of a quartz diorite stock. Along many of the veins fine-grained tourmaline and quartz have replaced the country rock....
An aeromagnetic reconnaissance of the Cook Inlet area, Alaska
Arthur Grantz, Isidore Zietz, Gordon E. Andreasen
1960, Open-File Report 60-59
Forty-two east-west aeromagnetic lines were flown across the Cook Inlet-Susitna Lowland between Chelatna Lake and Seldovia at a flight altitude of approximately 2,500 feet. The lines traverse all or part of five Mesozoic tectonic elements that dominate the structure of the Cook Inlet area. Each of these tectonic elements, the...
Origin and chemical composition of evaporite deposits
George William Moore
1960, Open-File Report 60-99
A comparative study of marine evaporite deposits forming at the present time along the pacific coast of central Mexico and evaporite formations of Permian age in West Texas Basin was made in order to determine if the modern sediments provide a basis for understanding environmental conditions that existed during deposition...

Pumice and pozzolan deposits in the Lesser Antilles
Edwin Butt Eckel
1960, Open-File Report 60-48
Early in 1959 the International Cooperation Administration requested the U. S. Geological Survey to assign a geologist to a reconnaissance study of the pumice and pozzolan deposits of the Lesser Antilles. As a result, I made brief field examinations of all the reported deposits during the period May 25 -...
Preliminary textures and mineral associations in the ultramafic zone of the Stillwater complex, Montana
Everett D. Jackson
1960, Open-File Report 60-79
This paper presents some results of work done between 1951 and 1955 as a part of a comprehensive investigation of the stratigraphy, geochemistry, and petrography of the Ultramafic zone of the Stillwater complex by the U. S. Geological Survey. Detailed mapping of the chromite deposits of the complex was done...
Petrography and petrology of Smoky Butte intrusives, Garfield County, Montana
Robert E. Matson
1960, Open-File Report 60-96
The Smoky Butte intrusives are located in T. 18 N., R. 36 E. Garfield County, Montana on the extreme eastern edge of the petrographic province of Central Montana. They consist of dikes and plugs arranged in linear, en-echelon pattern with a northeast trend and intrude the Tullock member (Paleocene age)...

Experimental drill hole logging in potash deposits of the Carlsbad district, New Mexico
C.L. Jones, C. Gilbert Bowles, Kenneth Granville Bell
1960, Open-File Report 60-84
Experimental logging of holes drilled through potash deposits in the Carlsbad district, southeastern New Mexico, demonstrate the considerable utility of gamma-ray, neutron, and electrical resistivity logging in the search for and identification of mineable deposits of sylvite and langbeinite. Such deposits are strongly radioactive with both gamma-ray and neutron well...

Beryl-bearing pegmatites in the Ruby Mountains and other areas in Nevada and northwestern Arizona
Jerry C. Olson, E. Neal Hinrichs
1960, Bulletin 1082-D
Pegmatite occurs widely in Nevada and northwestern Arizona, but little mining has been done for such pegmatite minerals as mica, feldspar, beryl, and lepidolite. Reconnaissance for beryl-bearing pegmatite in Nevada and in part of Mohave County, Ariz., and detailed studies in the Dawley Canyon area, Elko County, Nev., have shown...

Strategic graphite, a survey
Eugene N. Cameron, Paul L. Weis
1960, Bulletin 1082-E
Strategic graphite consists of certain grades of lump and flake graphite for which the United States is largely or entirely dependent on sources abroad. Lump graphite of high purity, necessary in the manufacture of carbon brushes, is imported from Ceylon, where it occurs in vein deposits. Flake graphite, obtained from...
Geology and fluorspar deposits, Northgate district, Colorado
Thomas A. Steven
1960, Bulletin 1082-F
The fluorspar deposits in the Northgate district, Jackson County, Colo., are among the largest in Western United States. The mines were operated intermittently during the 1920's and again during World War II, but production during these early periods of operation was not large. Mining was begun on a larger scale...
