Report issued by the Bureau of mines over studies conducted on beryllium deposits in New England. Evaluations of the deposits are presented and discussed. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines providing updates and additional information related to cold-mold arc melting and casting. Abstract: "This bulletin reviews the historical background of the cold-mold arc-melting technology, with specific references to the development that led to homogeneous zirconium ingots. Descriptions are given of modern production arc-furnaces for vacuum melting of both exotic and conventional metals. Besides zirconium, specific data are given for production of chromium, thorium, and copper. The development of the skull-casting technique for titanium is detailed, and the application of the technique to such refractory metals as molybdenum and tungsten is described. Factors of operation of the apparatus and furnace design are considered" (p. 1).

This report summarizes the stratigraphy, lithology, and physical properties studied in the UE12p#1 exploratory diamond drill hole at the Nevada Test Site.

Abstract: "Geodimeter surveys were made on four traverses near the east scarp of Rainier Mesa between October 27, 1967 and April 26, 1968. These measurements were made in order to determine if an changes in distance between survey stations had resulted from downslope creep of the rocks behind the scarp, or if any displacements had resulted from nuclear explosions beneath the mesa and in adjacent areas. A persistent small but possibly significant, slopeward displacement was measured along one traverse and may represent detachment of a large block; monitoring for an additional period of time is recommended."

Several methods of determining meteorite ages depend ages upon nuclides formed by cosmic ray interactions. The tactic assumption is always made that the intensity of cosmic radiation does not vary in time or space. However it is known that the intensity of cosmic radiation at the earth varies with the solar activity. The spectrum of cosmic ray protons and alpha particles exhibit a marked drop at the low energy end (<1.5 GeV) and the intensity in the region appears to follow the 11 year cycle of solar activity. The low energy cosmic rays increase in intensity with a decrease in solar activity. These changes in cosmic ray intensities are generally attributed to a modulation of the galactic cosmic radiation by the magnetic fields associated with the outward streaming solar material, the solar wind. One would therefore expect that the cosmic ray intensity several astronomical units from the sun is greater than the intensity at the earth's orbit, particularly at the low energy end of the spectrums.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines discussing a program for microfilming maps of abandoned mines in the Pennsylvania anthracite region. As stated in the introduction, "this report contains a catalog of films covering 68 of the 72 mines in the Wyoming Basin of the Northern anthracite field. Maps of active mines are not included" (p. 4). This report includes tables, and maps.

This report details the effects of the Employment Act of 1946, inflation in the 20 years after the enactment of the law, and monetary policy changes and analysis on the part of the federal government during each 1-3 year period during that timeframe.

This report tallies the costs of the aid that the United States gave to France from World War 1, World War 2, and the post-war period up until 1949 with mutually agreed-upon interest rates. The total of the unpaid debt came to $7,149,282,046 with the vast majority coming from World War 1.

From abstract: Important Chinook salmon spawning areas are listed and charted in this report according to their past use and present use.

From abstract: For Project Gnome, part of the Plowshare Program to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy, a nuclear device was detonated December 10, 1961, underground in rack salt of the Permian Salado Formation southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The Geological Survey's investigations on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission provided basic geologic and geophysical information needed to define preshot and postshot geologic and hydrologic conditions at and near the site. This report describes the geology of the site, some physical and chemical properties of the rocks, and the known effects of the nuclear detonation on the rocks of the site.
