Queen Creek, considered in this paper, is a typical large desert wash. It rises in the Pinal Mountains near the mining town of Superior and enters the outwash‐plain at Black Point about three miles north of Florence Junction (see Fig. 1). Thence it passes over the desert in a southwesterly...

Maui, the second largest island in the Hawaiian group, is 48 miles long, 26 miles wide, and covers 728 square miles. The principal town is Wailuku. Sugar cane and pineapples are the principal crops. Water is used chiefly for irrigating cane. The purpose of the investigation was to study the...

This report covers Angelina County, Texas, of which Lufkin is the county seat, and parts of Nacogdoches and other adjacent counties. The area is underlain by a series of sands, clays, and shales of Eocene age that dip, in general, southward at an angle a little greater than that of...

The Vaucluse gold property has been worked intermittently since gold was discovered in 1832. The latest operation was carried on by the V-M Corporation from March 1935 to November 1938, producing 26,452 tons of ore of \$143,760 gross value, of which \$91,569.36 was won in 1938.The host rock is a...

An investigation begun in 1937 by the United States and the Oklahoma Geological Surveys, has shown that the depth to the water table in the Oklahoma Panhandle ranges from less than 25 feet in parts of major valleys to about 3oo feet in parts of the uplands. In 8 upland...

Lanai lies 59 miles southeast of Honolulu, Oahu, has an area of 141 square miles, and is 3,370 feet high. (See fig. 1 and pl. 1.) Lanai City is the only town of importance. The island produces pineapples and cattle. The surface above about 1,200 feet is generally covered with...

In localities where highly mineralized water is present in beds above and below the beds that yield the supplies of fresh water it is necessary to be able to locate leaks in wells in order to know whether the wells are being contaminated through holes in the casings or whether...

Platt National Park, located in southern Oklahoma, containing 842 acres, was established by Acts of Congress in 1902, 1904, and 1906. The reason for the setting aside of this area was the presence in the area of some 30 'mineral' springs, the water from which contains sulphur, bromide, salt, and other...

It is quite generally known that ocean‐tides produce fluctuations of the water‐level in wells of the artesian type located close to the seashore by periodically changing the external load on the aquifer [see 1 of “References” at end of paper]. Fluctuations of ground‐water as a result of earth‐tides, however, are...

Seventeen representative samples of supergene sulphates from old workings on the Comstock Lode are described. They range from simple minerals such as gypsum and epsomite to complex aggregates of four or more distinct species. All are well known species except a mineral of the copper (chalcanthite) or magnesium sulphate pentahydrate...

The earliest extensive studies of thermal springs in the United States were made by physicians. In 1831 Dr. John Bell issued a book entitled "Baths and Mineral Waters" in which he listed 21 spring localities. In the edition of his work published in 1855 the number was increased to 181....

Creek County has been designated as a problem area by the Land Use Planning Section of the Resettlement Administration. Some of the earliest oil fields to brought into production were situated in and near this county, and new fields have been opened from time to time during the ensuing years....

In the past five years members of the Geological Survey have gained experience in making isometric block diagrams of mines and mining districts as well as of surface features. This paper presents nothing new, but aims to assemble scattered information on a much neglected method of geological illustration. Plotting mine...

The Battle Branch mine, in north-central Georgia, is well known locally for its pockets of exceptionally rich gold ore. During the period from May 24, 1934, to May 20, 1935, 781.97 ounces of bullion, of an average fineness of about 850, was shipped to the mint. The deposit is of...

The following geologic sketch is based on a two-day visit made to the McCoy district in September 1930. For valuable information and aid generously extended, the writer would express his thanks to the miners and prospectors of the district and especially to Mr. Joseph H. McCoy, a well-known mining man...

Methods are described which afford a determination of each member of the alkali group and are successful in dealing with the quantities of the rare alkalies found in rocks and minerals. The procedures are relatively rapid and based chiefly on the use of chloroplatinic acid, absolute alcohol and ether, and...

One of the outstanding accomplishments of recent years in connection with the study of the geologic source of groundwater and the quality of water yielded by different formations has been the development of methods and equipment for the exploration of wells. The description and use of the deep‐well current‐meter on well‐exploration work in Hawaii and New...

This report is one of several setting forth the results of investigations as to the safe yield of the principal water-bearing formations in certain parts of New Jersey, carried on cooperatively by the New Jersey Department of Conservation and Development and the United States Geological Survey. Other areas in which...

The potash field of southeastern New Mexico and adjacent parts of Texas is confined to the southern part of the Permian salt basin, covering about 40,000 square miles. The potash and associated minerals lie in a body of Permian halite, whose top is at least several hundred feet below the...

The scenic beauty, rugged contour, and great variety of geologic phenomena displayed by the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado have lured to that region many geologists, both professional and amateur, as well as countless laymen. Serious geologic studies in these mountains seem to fall historically into three periods. The first...

Memphis is located in the part of the Gulf Coastal Plain known as the Mississippi embayment. It is underlain by unconsolidated sand and clay formations of Tertiary and Cretaceous age. The Wilcox group, of Tertiary age, and the Ripley formation, of Cretaceous age, are excellent aquifers, and all the water...
