Reconnaissance for Radioactivity in the Yuma Air Force Base Gunnery Range, Yuma County, Arizona

From abstract: During part of February and March 1953, reconnaissance examinations for radioactive material were made at 12 localities in the Yuma Air Force Base gunnery range in southern Yuma County, Ariz. The Yuma gunnery range, which is adjacent to the west edge of the Luke and Williams Air Force Bases gunnery range, is characterized by block faulted, elongate mountain ranges composed essentially of schist, gneiss, and granite of pre-Cambrian to Mesozoic age and separated by broad alluvial basins.

A Lead-Uranium Deposit at the White Oak No. 1 Mine, Santa Cruz County, Arizona (open access)

A Lead-Uranium Deposit at the White Oak No. 1 Mine, Santa Cruz County, Arizona

From abstract: A small quantity of uranium ore was shipped from the White Oak No. 1 mine, Pajarito mining district, Santa Cruz County, Ariz., in 1952. The uranium is associated with oxidized lead ore in a shear zone that cuts rhyolite 'porphyry of Tertiary(?) age. The uranium minerals -- kasolite, uranophane, dumontite, autunite, and possibly radioactive pyromorphite -- are concentrated along small, discontinuous fractures, and accordingly the ore bodies are small and widely dispersed.
