Abstract: A radiometric reconnaissance, using a portable beta-gamma survey meter, of some geologic formations ranging in age from Cambrian to Cretaceous, and springs in southeastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and northern Utah, has shown that none of them are sufficiently radioactive to warrant further examination of them in the area.

Report discussing an exploratory drilling program in the Charles T. area and vicinity during the period from November 1947 and September 1949. "The purpose of the exploration was to discover new carnotite deposits to support milling operations on the Colorado Plateau, and to appraise the uranium and vanadium resources of the area explored."

"This report briefly describes the [Urvanian Mineral Belt] and outlines the geologic evidence supporting its concept. General plans for continuous exploration of this belt, and preliminary prediction of the total amount of carnotite-bearing rocks that might be in one unexplored area, are also presented"

Abstract: "Two uranium-bearing minerals, uranothorianite and thorite(?), were found in the stream gravels of the main branch of the South Fork of Quartz Creek, a tributary of the Kiwalik River. Although the bedrock source of the minerals was not located, the radioactive material was traced in slope wash well above the stream gravel. A detailed investigation of the area with more sensitive counters might reveal the source of the minerals and localities where the minerals are sufficiently concentrated to be minable."

Abstract: Secondary minerals of the uranite group occur in dense quartz veins and in altered aplitic granite along and near the crest of the east-trending ridge about one mile west of Clancy, Montana. Brief examination suggests that the radioactive minerals are erratically distributed, but a more thorough study of the area will be made by the Geological Survey during the coming field season.

Report discussing investigation of the relation of uranium and phosphate in the Phosphoria formation and its close stratigraphic equivalents.

Abstract: "As a result of inquiries by prospectors in 1948 concerning radioactive ores in the vicinity of Jakolof Bay on the Kenai Peninsula in southern Alaska, the Geological Survey conducted a brief investigation during 1949. No radioactive material was found. Possibly a chromite stockpile in this locality was mistaken for pitchblades."

A report about seven rock samples collected by a U.S. Geological Survey geologist in the Russian Mountains in 1944 which have proved to be somewhat radioactive.

A report regarding a Trace Elements Reconnaissance of the Southern Highway Belt, in South-Central Alaska.

Report discussing properties and uses of beryllium and beryl, an ore of beryllium produced as a by-product of mining in Colorado.

The following report summarizes the results of a brief geological examination made by the Geological Survey of the small uranium deposit in the Majuba Hill mine, Pershing County, Nevada.

"This report is a summary of the results of a brief geological examination made by the Geological Survey of the small uranium deposit in the Majuba Hill mine, Pershing County, Nevada."

The following report covers investigations on radioactivity in copper-bearing iron oxide mineralization fissures and fractures in narrow zones within Kobuk River Valley, Alaska.

Report discussing the study of radioactivity and mineralogy of 24 placer concentrate samples from the Fortymile district of east-central Alaska. Only two samples showed significant radioactivity due to uraniferous thorianite. Sections include geology, and radiometric and mineralogic studies.

Abstract: "The highest radioactivity value obtained in a traverse of shales in the Middle Paleozoic section of the lower Coleen River is 0.003 percent equivalent uranium. Traverses on pre-Cambrian schists at Rabbit Mountain were made with negative results."

From abstract: A reconnaissance for sources of radioactive material in North Dakota and eastern Montana was made in 1948. This reconnaissance was followed by a more detailed survey of parts of Golden Valley and Slope counties, southwestern North Dakota, in June 1949. The radioactivity of representative sections of all formations known to be exposed in the area and of three manganiferous spring deposits was determined with portable Geiger-Mueller counters. At 86 localities 82 samples were taken of these formations and also of 10 ground and surface waters.
