1975, Open-File Report 75-348
Rhyolitic domes, flows, and ash-flow tuffs of Miocene to Holocene age form an important part of the thick sequence of Cenozoic volcanic rocks that cover southeastern Oregon east of the Cascade Range. Rhyolitic domes 11-17 m.y. old are widespread, particularly in the easternmost part of the state and in adjacent...

G.C. Curtin, H. D. King
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 581-592
Geochemical studies in the Chief Mountain Soda Creek area, Clear Creek County, Colo., show that anomalously high amounts of Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Bi in mull ash, and Cu and Hg in soil, correspond to a negative gravity anomaly in the Front Range mineral belt. The correspondence of...

Polychlorinated biphenyl toxicity to Japanese quail as related to degree of chlorination
E. F. Hill, R.G. Heath, J. W. Spann, J.D. Williams
1974, Poultry Science (53) 597-604
To learn if the percentage of chlorine in a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) alone determines toxicity, Japanese quail were fed diets containing Aroclor 1248, 1254, or 1260 at levels that added equal amounts of chlorine to the feed. The experiment comprised two consecutive 5-day periods; three sublethal concentrations of...

Time of travel and dye dosage for an irrigation canal system near Duchesne, Utah
D. B. Adams
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 489-493
Fracturing and subsidence of the land surface in the Milford area oil Utah have resulted from the decline of water levels due to pumping in unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary age. To the writers’ knowledge, these are the first such effects of ground-water withdrawal reported in Utah. The fracturing is in...

Crest-stage gaging stations in Oregon: a compilation of peak data collected from October 1952 to September 1974
John Friday
1974, Report
A crest-stage gaging station provides an excellent means for determining peak water-surface elevations at a selected location on a stream channel. When related to streamflow, these data provide hydrologists with a knowledge of the flood experience of a drainage basin. If an adequate flood history is known, it is possible...
