Forty-Niner, King Solomon Ridge, and West End Claims Near Clancy, Jefferson County, Montana (open access)

Forty-Niner, King Solomon Ridge, and West End Claims Near Clancy, Jefferson County, Montana

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.

The Spectrophotometric Determination of Uranium by Means of the Azide Ion

Abstract: A method has been devised for the spectrophotometric determination of uranium by means of the azide ion. The method possesses several advantages over the various thiocyanate procedures. It has a slightly higher sensitivity, an aqueous medium is used, and the reaction product is more stable. Within the concentration limits tested, Beer's law is obeyed.
