Report documenting the suitability of Alabama for plant locations to produce synthetic liquid fuels, based on raw materials, coal, natural gas, and oil-impregnated strippable deposits.

From Forward: "This bulletin is the first of a new series, which includes analyses of only tipple and delivered coal. It covers samples collected throughout the United States from July 1, 1947 to June 30, 1950 (fiscal years 1948-50). It is planned that future publications of this series will cover a period of one fiscal year only and be issued as soon as possible after June 30 of each year."

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines regarding the restudy of iron-ore reserves in the Birmingham area to determine where increased production may be obtained in the area if and when required. The report includes tables, graphs, pictures and a map.

From Introduction and Summary: "Reports from operating companies showed that 25,715 men worked at coke ovens in 1951, about 6 percent more than were employed in 1950 and, except in 1943, the largest work force since 1930, when 28,139 men were employed. The work time for all employees was 70,190,493 man-hours. The returns indicated an average of 344 work days per man as compared with 341 days in the previous year. Accidents at the ovens resulted in the death of 10 and injury to 768 workers, both of these figures representing fewer injuries than in 1950."

From abstract: "In 1953 the Chattanooga shale in the Sequatchie anticline was tested for its uranium content by seven diamond drill cores. Concurrent with the drilling, geologic field work was done to determine the distribution, thickness, and structural setting of the shale." The report contains information regarding location and drainage, geology, the drilling program, subdivisions of the Sequatchie anticline, and unpublished reports.

"The results of an investigation of the Chattanooga shale along the Sequatchie anticline of Tennessee and Alabama are summarized in this report. The project was of an exploratory nature designed to 1) obtain fresh core samples from areas where analyses of outcrop samples showed uranium contents as high or higher than those of the Youngs Bend area in DeKalb County, Tenn.; 2) learn more about the distribution and thickness of the shale in those areas and, if necessary, do some geologic mapping; 3) observe general topographic, drainage, and geologic conditions that would affect the mining of shale."

From abstract: "Sediments of the inner part of the southern Atlantic Coastal Plain have been sampled and examined for monazite." The report provides sections on general geology, field and laboratory methods, distribution of monazite, and other mineral products.

This report gives some information about the substation present in Alabama information like location,elevations,exposures and many from the year the substation was established through the year 1955.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over studies conducted on the Pratt coal bed in Alabama. The report details "washability studies of coal from beds in Alabama and other southern states in which commercially important deposits occur" (p. 1). This report includes tables, graphs, and illustrations.
