1955, Book chapter, Investigations of Woodcock, Snipe, and Rails in 1954
1. An extensive field check was made of snipe habitat in those parts of western Canada (excluding most of British Columbia) which are accessible by road. 2. Nesting snipe were found to be very scarce in the whole Short-grass Prairie region, widely distributed and locally common in the Parklands,...

1955, Water Supply Paper 1330
The early industries in America generally were established when and where demands for the products of industry arose. Most of the early industries were so located that their increasing requirements for transportation, raw materials, market, labor, and water supply could be satisfied economically. Many of these original plant locations have...

Stratigraphy of the area between Hernando and Hardee counties, Florida
Keith B. Ketner, Laurence J. McGreevy
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 524
Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Recent rocks are exposed between Hernando and Hardee Counties. Eocene and Oligocene formations are fossiliferous limestones but Miocene rocks are largely unconsolidated sands and clays in which fossils are scarce. Correlation of Miocene strata therefore is necessarily based mainly on lithology and stratigraphic position. Where rocks are altered...
Some thorium prospects, Lemhi Pass area, Beaverhead County, Montana
Frank C. Armstrong
1955, Trace Elements Memorandum 918
The Last Chance group> Brown Bear and Shady Tree claims in Beaverhead County, Mont., were explored for thorium under a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration Contract in 1951 and 1952. The project was undertaken to explore northwest-trending moderately to steep dipping, thorite-bearing quartz-barite-hematite veins. The veins are wall-rock replacements and fissure fillings...
Preliminary experiments on the reduction of the uranyl ion to uraninite by carbonaceous substances
Irving A. Breger, Richard T. Moore
1955, Trace Elements Memorandum 942
An aqueous solution of uranyl sulfate containing a suspension of subbituminous coal has been heated at 210 C for three days. Examination of the coal at the end of the experiment showed it to contain 31.8 percent uranium recognizable as uraninite by a sharp, strong X-ray diffraction pattern. A similar...

This report is a statement of progress during the six-months period from June 1 to November 30, 1955 on investigations of radioactive materials in the United States and Alaska, undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey under the sponsorship of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. During the period the Geological Survey's program...
Preliminary report on the potential waterpower of Grant, Ptarmigan, Cooper and Crescent lakes on the Kenai Peninsula, near Seward, Alaska
Arthur Johnson
1955, Open-File Report 55-74
Grant, Ptarmigan, Cooper, and Crescent Lakes, located in the Kenai Mountains in the upper portion of the Kenai River Basin, approximately 25 miles to the north of Seward, present favorable opportunities for the development of waterpower. Grant and Ptarmigan Lakes can be made readily accessible by roads from the Seward-Anchorage...

Uranium deposits of the northern part of the Boulder Batholith, Montana
George E. Becraft
1955, Trace Elements Memorandum 944
Uranium minerals and radioactivity anomalies occur in many silver-lead veins and chalcedony veins and vein zones in the Boulder batholith of southwestern Montanao Pitchblende has been identified in a few silver-lead veins. These veins occupy shear zones along which there is no evidence of large-scale lateral displacement. The wall rock...

Pegmatites of the Middletown area, Connecticut
Frederick Stugard Jr.
1955, Open-File Report 55-177
The pegmatites of the Middletown area in Connecticut have been mined almost continuously for feldspar and muscovite mica since about 1865, Pegmatites in this and other areas have recently become the subject of renewed interest because pegmatites are the potential source of beryl, the ore mineral of beryllium. During 1948...

The thoron-tartaric acid systems for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium
F. S. Grimaldi, Mary H. Fletcher
1955, Trace Elements Investigations 571
Thoron is popularly used for the spectrophotometric determination of thorium. An undesirable feature of its use is the high sensitivity of the reagent toward 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...

As a part of the Geological Survey's program of investigating uranium-bearing carbonaceous rocks on behalf of the Division of Raw Materials of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, a reconnaissance of the Sharon Springs member of the Pierre shale in western Kansas and eastern Colorado was conducted during 1954. The Sharon Springs...
