The Happy Jack mine is in the White Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah. Production is from high-grade uranium deposits in the Shinarump conglomerate of the Triassic age. In this area the Shinarump beds range from about 16 to 40 feet in thickness and the lower part of...
Reconnaissance for uranium in New Mexico in 1953
Roy L. Griggs
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 419
In the fall of 1953 a reconnaissance search for uranium was made in the Datil area, west-central New Mexico, and in the Cerrillos, Glorieta, and Tecolote districts and the Las Vegas and Colfax Sill areas in north-central and northeastern New Mexico. Traces of radioactive materials were detected at many places...

1954, Trace Elements Investigations 414
Eleven occurrences of uraniferous argillite in the Lockatong lithofacies and five occurrences of uraniferous sandstone in the Stockton lithofacies, both of Triassic age, are known in Buck County, Pa. and Hunterdon County, N.J. Most of the occurrences were discovered by the Geological Survey, though prospectors found several. The Delaware quarry, Bucks...
Carnotite-bearing sandstone in Cedar Canyon, Slim Buttes, Harding County, South Dakota
James R. Gill, George W. Moore
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 411
Carnotite-bearing sandstone and clay have been found in the Chadron formation of the White River group of Oligocene age in the southern part of the Slim Buttes area, Harding County, S. Dak. Locally the mineralized sandstone contains as much as 0.23 percent uranium. The uranium and vanadium ions are believed...

Relationship of length of fish to incidence of sea lamprey scars on white suckers, Catostomus commersoni, in Lake Huron
A.E. Hall, Oliver R. Elliott
1954, Copeia (1954) 73-74
During the course of experimental fishing operations conducted by the staff of Hammond Bay Fishery Laboratory (a field station of Great Lakes Fishery Investigations) in 1950-1951, length measurements and records of scarring incidence and number of scars per individual were obtained for a sample of 552 white suckers, Catostomus commersoni...

Fluctuations in production and abundance of commercial species in the Red Lakes, Minnesota, with special reference to changes in the walleye population
Lloyd L. Smith Jr., Laurits W. Krefting
1954, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (83) 131-160
The Red Lakes in northwestern Minnesota comprise 275,000 acres of water which support a commercial fishery producing up to 1.5 million pounds of fish per year. Walleye, Stizostedion vitreum vitreum (Mitchill), and yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Mitchill), are the principal species. Statistics for the past 37 years have been analyzed...

Tables for evaluating Bateman equation coefficients for radioactivity calculations
F.J. Flanagan, F. E. Senftle
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1595-1600
Tables of decay constants and functions thereof are presented to simplify the problem of calculating the constants involved in the Bateman equation. These tables make it possible to calculate any constant involved in any of the four radioactive series by a maximum of three mathematical operations, either by three divisions...
Spectrophotometric determination of uric acid and some redeterminations of its solubility
D. R. Norton, M. A. Plunkett, F. A. Richards
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 454-457
The present study was initiated in order to develop a rapid and accurate method for the determination of uric acid in fresh, brackish, and sea water. It was found that the spectrophotometric determination of uric acid based upon its reaction with arsenophosphotungstic acid reagent in the presence of cyanide ion...
Studies of river morphology
Luna Bergere Leopold
1954, Science (119) 326-327
A number of generalizations concerning the behavior and natural characteristics of river channels have been developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in several recently completed studies of river morphology. Measurements of parameters such as the discharge, suspended load, bed material, velocity of flow, channel slope, and channel shape indicate that...

Polarographic determination of tungsten in rocks
L.E. Reichen
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1302-1304
This work was undertaken to develop a simpler and faster method than the classical gravimetric procedure for the determination of tungsten in rocks and ores. A new polarographic wave of tungsten is obtained in a supporting electrolyte of dilute hydrochloric acid containing tartrate ion. This permits the determination of tungsten...

Composition of the continental plates
J. Gilluly

The structures of continental plates and of oceanic basins suggested by several seismologists are utilized to estimate the relative volumes of sial and sima in the earth's crust. It seems that sial of the composition of the average igneous rock constitutes fully 26% and perhaps as much as 43% of...
A theoretical study of alpha star populations in loaded nuclear emulsions
F. E. Senftle, T. A. Farley, L. R. Stieff
1954, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (6) 197-207
This theoretical study of the alpha star populations in loaded emulsions was undertaken in an effort to find a quantitative method for the analysis of less than microgram amounts of thorium in the presence of larger amounts of uranium. Analytical expressions for each type of star from each of the...
Stability of dilute solutions of uranium, lead, and thorium ions
R.G. Milkey
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1800-1803
Standard solutions and samples containing a few micrograms of metallic ions per milliliter are frequently used in determination of trace elements. It is important to know whether the concentrations of such solutions remain constant from day to day. The stability of dilute solutions of three metallic ions-uranium, lead, and thorium-has...
Quantitative radiochemical method for determination of major sources of natural radioactivity in ores and minerals
J. N. Rosholt
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1307-1311
When an ore sample contains radioactivity other than that attributable to the uranium series in equilibrium, a quantitative analysis of the other emitters must be made in order to determine the source of this activity. Thorium-232, radon-222, and lead-210 have been determined by isolation and subsequent activity analysis of some...
Thick target bremsstrahlung spectra for 1.00-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons
W. Miller, J. W. Motz, C. Cialella
1954, Physical Review (96) 1344-1350
The spectrum of radiation produced by 1.0-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons incident on a thick tungsten target was measured at 0° and 90° with the incident beam by a method involving the magnetic analysis of Compton electrons. The effects of electron scattering and energy loss in the target preclude any...
