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.

Trace Elements Reconnaissance in the Jakolof Bay Area, Southern Alaska (open access)

Trace Elements Reconnaissance in the Jakolof Bay Area, Southern Alaska

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."
