Garo uranium deposits, Park County, Colorado
Garland B. Gott
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 222
The uranium deposits, three-fourths of a mile south of Garo, Park County, Colo., were mined over 30 years ago for radium ore. The old workings are now abandoned and inaccessible. Forty tons of ore that contained 1.0 percent uranium are reported to have been mined from two light-gray sandstone beds that are stratigraphically about...
Radon in the helium-bearing natural gas of the Texas panhandle
H. Faul, G.E. Manger, A.Y. Sakakura
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 239
The known quantity of helium in the Texas Panhandle gas reservoir is greater than could be explained by assuming normal geologic conditions. Radon content of the gas varies between about 10 and 250 micromicrocuries per liter (S. T. P.), and the more highly radioactive wells are clustered in several groups. Mathematical analysis indicates...
Preliminary report on the correlation between gamma-ray logs and permeability logs of the ore-bearing sandstone in the Morrison Formation Calamity Mesa, Mesa County, Colorado
David A. Phoenix
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 270
A study of the hydrologic properties and geologic relations of the ore-bearing sandstone in the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Morrison formation has been undertaken because uranium and vanadium are believed to have been introduced into the sandstone by circulating ground water. This report describes the geologic and hydrologic characteristics of the ore-bearing sandstone...
Preliminary report on geobotanical exploration in the Yellow Cat District, Grand County, Utah
Helen L. Cannon
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 273
Two geobotanical methods of prospecting have been applied to the search for uranium deposits in the Yellow Cat district, Grand County, Utah. The first method is based on the absorption and accumulation of uranium by plants from underlying uranium deposits. To demonstrate this method, several hundred samples of Juniperus monosperma, Atriplex confert ifolia, and Cowania...
Uranium in the East Walker River Area, Lyon County, Nevada
M.H. Staatz, H.L. Bauer Jr.
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 228
Uraniferous quartz veins and deposits of other types occur in an area at least six miles long and three miles wide, along the East Walker River in Lyon County, Nevada. Most of the deposits are on the west side of the river. Six properties of areas were mapped, sampled, and tested radiometrically. These properties are:...

Sulfadiazine for kidney disease

1951, Progressive Fish-Culturist (13) 135-137
The blueback salmon fingerlings (Oncorhynchus nerka) at the U.S. Fish-Cultural Station at Winthrop, Washington, underwent an infection that was caused by a very short, Gram-positive, nonmotile, rod-shaped bacterium. A further description is impossible at this time, as the organism has not been grown satisfactorily for proper identification. The disease was...
Carnotite resources of the upper group area, San Miguel County, Colorado
Charles Francis Withington
1951, Trace Elements Investigations 145
The Upper group area, which consists of 10 Government claims and adjoining public land, is 2 miles southeast of Slick Rock, San Miguel County, Colo., in unsurveyed secs. 5 and 6, T. 43 N., R. 18 W., New Mexico principal meridian. The area is equidistant from mills at Monticello, Utah,...
A photometric method for the estimation of the oil yield of oil shale
Frank Cuttitta
1951, Trace Elements Investigations 152
A method is presented for the distillation and photometric estimation of the oil yield of oil-bearing shales. The oil shale is distilled in a closed test tube and the oil extracted with toluene. The optical density of the toluene extract is used in the estimation of oil content and is...
Carnotite resources of the Calamity group area, Mesa County, Colorado
Harold K. Stager
1951, Trace Elements Investigations 146
The Calamity group area, which includes 28 unpatented Government claims and enclosed fractions of public domain, lies along the east rim of Calamity Mesa, Mesa County, Colo. From 1915 through 1944, about 10,000 tons of carnotite ore, averaging about 1.0 percent U3O8 and 2.5 percent V2O5, was produced from mines...

Distinctions between the snake genera Contia and Eirenis

Summary: Various workers have believed Contia to be related to or congeneric with either or both Sonora and Eirenis, the latter a genus of Western Asia. Study of hemipenes, teeth, and jaws indicates that these genera are not related to one another. The hemipenes of Eirenis modesta and...

Reconnaissance examination for uranium at six mines and properties in Idaho and Montana
John Stewart Vhay
1951, Trace Elements Memorandum 30-A
Six mining properties in Idaho and Montana at which radioactivity had been reported or suspected were briefly examine by J.S. Vhay and W.A. Roberts of the U.S. Geological Survey in October and November 1949. The properties in Idaho are the Grunter mine, from which radio-active mill concentrates have been reported; the...
