Results of core drilling for uranium-bearing carbonaceous shale and lignite in the Goose Creek district, Cassia County, Idaho
William J. Mapel, William J. Hail Jr.
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 438
Thirteen core holes, totaling 2,023 feet, were drilled during the fall of 1953 to explore the grade and extent of uranium-bearing beds of carbonaceous shale and lignite in the east-central part of the Goose Creek district, Cassia County, Idaho. The beds tested are interbedded with volcanic ash, bentonite, greenish-gray shale,...
Uranium in the Mayoworth area, Johnson County, Wyoming - a preliminary report
J. D. Love
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 436
The uranium mineral, metatyuyamunite, occurs in the basal limestone of the Sundance formation of late Jurassic age along the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains, about 2 miles southwest of the abandoned Mayoworth post office. This occurrence is of particular interest because it is the first uranium mineralization reported from...
Wall-rock control of cortain pitchblende deposits in Golden Gate Canyon, Jefferson County, Colorado
John W. Adams, Frederick Stugard Jr.
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 430
Carbonate veins cutting pre-Cambrian metamorphic rocks in Golden Gate Canyon contain pitchblende and base-metal sulfides. The veins occupy extensive faults of Laramide age but normally contain pitchblende only where the cut hornblende gneiss. At the Union Pacific prospect, which was studied in detail, pitchblende, hermatite, and some ankerite formed in...

Progress report on the Happy Jack mine, Which Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah
Albert F. Trites Jr., Randall T. Chew III
1954, Trace Elements Memorandum 645
The Happy Jack mine is in the White Canyon area, San Juan county, Utah. Production is from high-grade uranium deposits in the Shinarump conglomerate of the Triassic age. In this area the Shinarump beds range from about 16 to 40 feet in thickness and the lower part of...
Reconnaissance for uranium in New Mexico in 1953
Roy L. Griggs
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 419
In the fall of 1953 a reconnaissance search for uranium was made in the Datil area, west-central New Mexico, and in the Cerrillos, Glorieta, and Tecolote districts and the Las Vegas and Colfax Sill areas in north-central and northeastern New Mexico. Traces of radioactive materials were detected at many places...

Uranium occurrences in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon County, New Jersey
F. A. McKeown, P.W. Choquette, R. C. Baker
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 414
Eleven occurrences of uraniferous argillite in the Lockatong lithofacies and five occurrences of uraniferous sandstone in the Stockton lithofacies, both of Triassic age, are known in Buck County, Pa. and Hunterdon County, N.J. Most of the occurrences were discovered by the Geological Survey, though prospectors found several. The Delaware quarry, Bucks...
Carnotite-bearing sandstone in Cedar Canyon, Slim Buttes, Harding County, South Dakota
James R. Gill, George W. Moore
1954, Trace Elements Investigations 411
Carnotite-bearing sandstone and clay have been found in the Chadron formation of the White River group of Oligocene age in the southern part of the Slim Buttes area, Harding County, S. Dak. Locally the mineralized sandstone contains as much as 0.23 percent uranium. The uranium and vanadium ions are believed...

A theoretical study of alpha star populations in loaded nuclear emulsions
F. E. Senftle, T. A. Farley, L. R. Stieff
1954, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (6) 197-207
This theoretical study of the alpha star populations in loaded emulsions was undertaken in an effort to find a quantitative method for the analysis of less than microgram amounts of thorium in the presence of larger amounts of uranium. Analytical expressions for each type of star from each of the...
Spectrophotometric determination of uric acid and some redeterminations of its solubility
D. R. Norton, M. A. Plunkett, F. A. Richards
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 454-457
The present study was initiated in order to develop a rapid and accurate method for the determination of uric acid in fresh, brackish, and sea water. It was found that the spectrophotometric determination of uric acid based upon its reaction with arsenophosphotungstic acid reagent in the presence of cyanide ion...

The flood control controversy: Big dams, little dams, and land management
Luna Bergere Leopold, Thomas Maddock Jr.

The purpose of this book is to investigate the facts regarding flood control, a subject that has given rise to extreme controversy in the United States in recent years. The question of flood control is obviously a vital one not only to the United States but to many other countries....
Polarographic determination of tungsten in rocks
L.E. Reichen
1954, Analytical Chemistry (26) 1302-1304
This work was undertaken to develop a simpler and faster method than the classical gravimetric procedure for the determination of tungsten in rocks and ores. A new polarographic wave of tungsten is obtained in a supporting electrolyte of dilute hydrochloric acid containing tartrate ion. This permits the determination of tungsten...
Thick target bremsstrahlung spectra for 1.00-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons
W. Miller, J. W. Motz, C. Cialella
1954, Physical Review (96) 1344-1350
The spectrum of radiation produced by 1.0-, 1.25-, and 1.40-Mev electrons incident on a thick tungsten target was measured at 0° and 90° with the incident beam by a method involving the magnetic analysis of Compton electrons. The effects of electron scattering and energy loss in the target preclude any...
