Standard chemical tests and spectroscopic analyses of altered Tertiary lavas that occur above blind ore bodies in the East Tintic district, Utah, have failed to show any evidence of the mineralization in the underlying dolomites. A new technique involving dithizone was used in the field to test ammonium acetate extracts...

A semiquantitative colorimetric analytical method using dithizone to detect traces of heavy metals in natural water is described. Although reagents of exceptional purity are required, only simple equipment is needed and the test can be made in a few minutes in the field. A combined mixed color and mono color...

This report gives the results of a reinvestigation of the lead-silver deposits of the Clark Fork district, Bonner County, Idaho, which since the late twenties have been the most important producers of lead-silver ore in northern Idaho outside of the Coeur d'Alene district, their production up to the end of...

The Blackbird district is in east-central Idaho, about 20 miles west-southwest of Salmon. The area is one of deeply weathered, flat-topped upland surfaces cut by several steep-walled valleys, which are tributary to the canyon of Panther Creek. Most of the area has a heavy vegetative cover and outcrops are relatively...

During the period 1943 to 1946, several combinations of largemouth black bass (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) were stocked in ponds on the station grounds at Leetown, West Virginia. These ponds were fertilized with 12–5–5, inorganic fertilizer, but when water blooms failed to control the submerged vegetation, sodium...

The Rush and Brown mine and the Venus prospect are near the head of Kasaan Bay about 10 miles northwest of the village of Kasaan and about 45 miles northwest of Ketchikan, the nearest port. (See fig. 1.) They are in an area of moderate relief in in which some...

Copper‐bearing magnetite deposits and associated copper deposits at Kasaan Peninsula, Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska, have been known for many years and have been mined to some extent for their copper content. At the beginning of World War II, the development of war industries in the Pacific northwest focused attention...

The Dunmore lode is localized along a persistent fissure zone over two miles long and averaging nearly 100 feet in width along the length of the Dunmore claim. The fault in which the lode is located offset the pre-Cambrian quartzite and slate walls about 4,500 feet prior to deposition of...

Hydrothermal alteration of the quartz monzonite host rock in the Castle Dome copper deposit consists of three phases. Very weak propylitic alteration of biotite and plagioclase occurs in the marginal part of the mineralized area. Where mineralization is stronger most of the plagioclase and some of the orthoclase and biotite...

The Salt Chuck copper-palladium mine is on a salt-water lagoon at the head of Kasaan Bay, Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska, about 43 miles by water northwest Of Ketchikan (see fig. 1). The lagoon, known as the Salt Chuck, opens into Kasaan Bay through a very narrow channel and...

Moth Bay is a narrow inlet on the north side of the entrance to Thorne Arm, a large bay near the southern end of Revillagigedo Island, southeastern Alaska (see insert, fig. 1). It is about 16 miles by water southeasterly from Ketchikan, the nearest port. Moth Bay is locally known...
