Ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction, Pinal County, Arizona
L.A. Heindl
1955, Open-File Report 55-63
The development of the San Manuel copper prospect has greatly increased traffic along State Highway 77. Considerable interest in commercial possibilities along that road has resulted in a request by the Arizona State Land Department for information about the ground-water conditions between Oracle and Oracle Junction. This request came too...

Provenience of pyroclastic materials
C. S. Ross
1955, Geological Society of America Bulletin (66) 427-434
Recent studies of rhyolitic and pyroclastic materials, and in particular of welded tuffs and bentonites, show that they occur over wide areas and in volumes which greatly exceed earlier evaluations. Volcanic ash and bentonite occur in the eastern United States where such materials were long unrecognized. In most of the...
