A method for determining transmissibility‐ and storage‐coefficients by tests of multiple well‐systems
Leland K. Wenzel, A.L. Greenlee
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 547-564
Ground‐water has long been recognized as one of our important natural resources, but only in about the last 20 years has concentrated effort been made to place ground‐water hydrology on a quantitative basis. The quantitative approach to ground‐water work has been brought about largely through the leadership of O. E....
Helvite, a product of magmatic emanations at Iron Mountain, Sierra Socorro Counties, New Mexico
Jewell J. Glass
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 252-257
The recent discovery of the widespread occurrence of helvite, a beryllium‐bearing mineral, at Iron Mountain, New Mexico, has aroused interest in the commercial possibilities of a mineral which heretofore has been considered to have only scientific significance. Helvite contains about 13 per cent beryllium oxide as compared with five to...

Appendix B—The work of the Geological Survey and cooperating state agencies on ground water for war purposes
O. E. Meinzer
1943, Article
The very large service which the geologists and engineers trained in ground‐water hydrology are rendering in this country in the prosecution of the war is due largely to the effective organization for this purpose. The Federal agency in which this service centers is the Water Resources Branch of the United...

The nickel deposits of Yakobi Island, southeastern Alaska
George C. Kennedy
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 257-257
Some of the large, low‐grade nickel‐copper deposits of Bohemia Basin, Yakobi Island, south‐eastern Alaska, which previously had been mapped and studied by the United States Geological Survey, were explored during parts of 1941 and 1942 by the United States Bureau of Mines. The Gealogical Survey interpreted the geologic features of...
Appendix C—Report on research in the field of ground water being conducted by oil companies
N.A. Rose
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 420-421
In view of the shortness of time since the appointment of the writer to the Committee on Ground Water this report is confined to the technology and problems in the Gulf Coast Oil Province. Of course, many of the methods and practices would apply to most parts of the country...
Flowage and recrystallization in paleozoic quartzites
Robert E. Fellows
1943, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (24) 271-271
The lower limit of visible traces of penetrative movement in quartz‐rich rocks can be defined by studies of orientations and mutual relations of grains. Intensity of deformation in the central Appalachians decreases gradually from the crystalline Piedmont toward the north, northwest, and west perpendicular to the regional trend. The author...

Structural determinations from diamond drilling
John Beaver Mertie
1943, Economic Geology (38) 298-312
Several problems may arise in the geometrical determinations of strike and dip from core drilling. If the stratigraphic or structural surfaces are plane, as the bedding planes of a homocline, two problems may exist, depending upon whether the drill cores do or do not penetrate to some recognizable horizon. The...

Notes on the early history of water-well drilling in the United States
C.W. Carlston
1943, Economic Geology (38) 119-136
The standard cable-tool drilling rig was invented and developed in drilling salt wells in the West Virginia-Ohio-Pennsylvania region during the twenty years following the successful completion of the first drilled well in 1808 by the Ruffnet brothers at the Great Buffalo Lick near Charleston, West Virginia. Some time previous to...
