Report discussing the geography and ores of the Spud patch area, which acted as a source of carnotite ore from deposits in a sandstone lens.

A bibliography which includes geologic publications printed in North America and geologic publications about North America for the year 1890.

From introduction: The results presented in this preliminary report are principally concerned with the ground motion caused by seven underground nuclear explosions (table 1) in the bedded tuff of the Oak Spring formation in Area 12. Ground motions were recorded at stations as close as 5 kilometers and as far as 300 kilometers from the explosions (fig 1 and table 2). The results for the Bianca and especially the Evans explosion are meager because the first was accompanied by a Test Site-wide moznentary power failure and because the yield of the second was so far below the anticipated yield that uncertain results were obtained. Ground motions caused by most of the air explosions in Operations Plumbbob and Hadtack - Phase 2 were recorded and have been partly analyzed. Results are presented in this report only where they relate significantly to analysis of the underground explosions. The effects of most of the small underground explosions in Area 3 (center of Yucca Flat) that had significant yields were also recorded. The results have not yet been interpreted.

From abstract: To help the mining industry of Alaska and to assist in the development of the mineral resources of the Territory have been the prime motives of the Geological Survey's investigations in Alaska during the past 35 years, in which nearly one half of the Territory has been covered by its reconnaissance and exploratory surveys. It was natural, therefore, that the Alaska Railroad, when it undertook intensive consideration of the problem of finding tonnage that would increase its revenues, should look to the Geological Survey to supply technical information as to the known mineral deposits along its route and to indicate what might be done to stimulate a larger production of minerals and induce further mining developments and prospecting that would utilize its service.

A report that describes the geologic history of various landscapes viewed from major roadways in and around Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve.

A report regarding Preliminary reserve statement 21, reserve blocks A and B, Spud Patch area, San Miguel County, Colorado

A report about lateral ramps which are zones where décollements change stratigraphic level along a strike. This report suggests that many cross-strike features may be underlain by lateral ramps that serve to transfer décollements from one stratigraphic level to another in the same manner as frontal ramp, but in a direction normal to the strike of the fold belt.

A report about pipes which contain downdropped strata located in the southwestern part of the San Jun Basin, New Mexico.

From Introduction: "The value of its mineral resources has long been recognized as a matter of concern in the welfare of every nation, and all wise governments almost from time immemorial have taken steps to find out about, utilize, and safeguard such of these natural resources as lie within their own boundaries or to acquire rights in those they need that lie outside those boundaries. Obviously one of these lines concerns itself with the record of present performance-how much of the different mineral commodities is the country at present producing, where does this production come from and what are the facts as to the current developments in the industry? To answer some of these questions authoritatively is part of the work of the Alaskan branch of the Geological Survey, and answers to those questions for the year 1934 are given in the accompanying report."

A report about the potential for Irish-type Pb-Zn deposits in a platform rocks of western Vermont; however, at Lion Hill they contain enrichments of Pb, Zn, and Cu rather than a Pb, Zn, and Ag association.

From abstract: The construction stone industry comprises two major branches-dimension stone and crushed and broken stone. For purposes of geologic appraisal, deposits of these two categories should be treated separately, because they differ widely in use, mode of development, and exploitation. Deposits of dimension stones are subjected to much greater selectivity with respect to physical properties, uniformity, and modes of occurrence; these demand a much more critical and detailed study of geologic and mineralogic features.

A report about nomenclature related to planets in the solar system. It contains detailed information about all names of topographic and albedo features on planets and satellites.

A report that used isotopic, mineralogic, and oil-yield data to delineate major hydrologic states, establish the origin of carbonate mineral phases, and determine the controls on the geochemical cycles of carbon and oxygen.

This report is a statement of progress during a six-months period and gives the principal unclassified information developed in that period about investigations of radioactive materials in the United States and Alaska, and to a minor extent in foreign countries.

A report about early proterozoic massive sulfide deposits associated with submarine mafic to felsic metavolcano rocks are present throughout central, west-central, and northwestern Arizona. Also, production data for copper, lead, zinc, gold, and silver for most of the known deposits and prospects in 13 metallic mineral districts are summarized.

A report which examines the sedimentary rocks deposited along a segment of the west coast of the interior seaway of North America in southwest Wyoming during the late Santonian and early Campanian subages of the Late Cretaceous Epoch.

The following report is a mineral resource assessment of Coronado National Forest of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, formed by geologic, geochemical, and geophysical data.

A report about gold mineralization at the Golden Sunlight breccia pipe, southwestern Montana, is related to emplacement of Late Cretaceous alkali-calcic rhyolite and subsequent collapse of the Belt Supergroup wallrock and rhyolite in the pipe.

Report providing information from 125 samples of rock studies, analyzed by using a emission-spectographic method. The studies take place in Yellowstone National Park and Steamboat Springs, Nevada.

A report about metal necessary for economic or industrial development and how the metals are toxic to plants, animals, and humans.

Abstract: "ground-water test well A was drilled to a depth of 1,870 feet with rotary and cable-tool equipment. Only alluvial materials were penetrated. These were saturated below 1,605 feet. Pumping and bailing tests indicate that the minimum transmissibility of the alluvium is about 800 gallons per day per foot. The specific capacity was 1.9 gallons per minute per foot of drawdown after 1 hours of pumping at rates of both 41 and 60 gallons per minute. A suite of geophysical logs, a summary of contract costs, and a detailed description of drilling equipment and casing record are presented."

A bibliography of information about various clays, kaolins, and the ceramic arts.

From preface: The present volume is the tenth of a series of annual bulletins treating of the progress of mining in Alaska and summarizing the results achieved during the year in the investigations of the mineral resources of the Territory.

A report which describes the hydrothermal alteration of numerous outcrop samples collected in the vicinity of Mount Hood, as well as drill cuttings from 13 of the geothermal drill holes for which we were able to obtain sample splits.
