Knob Creek Monazite Placer, Cleveland County, North Carolina (open access)

Knob Creek Monazite Placer, Cleveland County, North Carolina

From abstract: The area comprising the first flood plain downstream from the headwaters of Knob Creek was one of three monazite placer deposits near Shelby, N. C., recommended by the Geological Survey for investigation by the Bureau of Mines as a joint effort by the above two agencies. Past production of monazite from the headwaters of this stream and its drainage of an area of known source rocks were factors influencing this selection. Drilling of the deposit was started on November 26, 1951, and completed December 29, 1951. Twenty-two churn-drill holes were completed to bed-rock on 112 acres of this flood plain for a total depth of 433 feet of vertical drilling.

[Photograph 2012.201.B1062.0435]

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma Times newspaper. Caption: "The Kids at Horace Mann school now have seen everything. The climax came Monday morning when they watched a small white terrier with a black eye climb a seven foot steel pole. Not a bit bashful, Susie hopped off her stand, ambled over to the pole in the center of the stage, stood up on her backlegs and shinnied up the pole paw over paw. As she climbed triumphantly to the stand atop the pole, she touched a trigger that sent a safety banner fluttering down for the audience to view."
