Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines on energy consumption in the western United States. A focus on coal as the primary energy source is presented. This report includes tables, graphs, maps, and illustrations.

"The purpose of this profile is to summarize the ecological information available for and relevant to stream and riparian habitats of the Great Basin. The Great Basin comprises the northern half of the Basin and Range physiographic province and covers most of Nevada and western Utah and portions of California, Oregon, and Idaho. The entire basin actually consists of numerous subbasins and mountain ranges which present an extremely diverse physical setting" (p. iii).

From introduction: This report summarizes the results of detailed mapping and sampling completed during 1952 with particular reference to an area of about 60 square miles in T. 16 S. , R. 21 E. , Cassia County, Idaho, and parts of adjacent townships in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. It supplements an earlier report based on reconnaissance stttdies in the Goose Creek district in 1951 (Hail and Gill, 1953).

From introduction: This report presents a summary of the graptolite faunas of the Basin Ranges as known from the collections of the U.S. Geological Survey and the Departments of Geology of the University of California at Los Angeles and Utah State University. The collections were made in the period 1872-1958, but only a very small number of specimens have been described or illustrated in the 80 or so years elapsed.

Report discussing investigations seeking uranium in deposits of black shale around the geographical areas of the Western States

Report discussing deposits of uranium in beds of carbonaceous shale and lignite in the Goose Creek district. The highest concentrations of uranium were found in the central part of the Salt Lake formation.

Report describing the phosphorite deposits of the western United States with the objective of outlining features that are common to both the Kara Tau phosphorite deposits of Russia and the western United States deposits in an effort to define their origin.

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

Appendices containing data on uranium availability in the Wells Quadrangle to accompany a report on U.S. uranium resources in Nevada, Idaho, Utah.

From introduction: This report describes the deposits of analcite in the Green River formation, to compare them with other similar deposits, and to present them with other similar deposits, and to present the observations and inferences that led him to explain them as alteration products of volcanic ash that fell into an ancient saline lake. The report also records the occurrence of several thin beds of sepiolite, or meerschaum, in the Green River formation and presents new data on the molds of saline minerals of the Green River formation whose determination affects directly the interpretation of the analcite and sepiolite deposits.

From Purpose and Scope: "The Wells 2º Quadrangle, Nevada, Utah, and Idaho (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify and delineate areas and geologic environments that exhibit characteristics favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. All geologic environments in the quadrangle were evaluated to a depth of 1500 m (5,000 ft) using all available surface and subsurface data."

This report presents the results of analyses of the airborne gamma radiation and total magnetic field survey flown for the Mc Dermitt quadrangle.

Map showing the geologic features of the Wells quadrangle project area in Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. Scale 1: 250,000.

From introduction: "In this paper are assembled and summarized many subjects relating to the copper industry in North America. Production of mines and districts, history of the industry in North America. Production of mines and districts, history of the industry, geology, of the principal deposits, and mining methods and costs are discussed."

From Introduction: "Vocalization in retorts has been, until recently, the only commercial process of producing spelter, hence the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc smelters in regard to the following requirements: (1) Minimum percentage of zinc the ore must contain; (2) the chemical combination of the zinc in the ore; (3) the proportion present of those elements that interfere with the successful recovery of the zinc when the ore is retorted. As stated previously, and as will be shown later, a large part of the valuable mineral content of the ore is lost in effecting this concentration. As a result of the other requirements that have to be met in zinc smelting, much zinc is lost in the mining and milling of zinc ore."

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing materials surveys conducted on mercury. As stated in the foreword, "the surveys dealing with metals and minerals summarize the demand-supply position in the United States and include information on production, imports, consumption, exports, substitutes, and pertinent history" (p. v). This report includes maps, tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Technical paper issued by the Bureau of Mines over analyses of coals from many western states. The characteristics of the coals found in each state are discussed in detail. This paper includes tables, and maps.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing safety hazards in western mines. Mine hoisting and haulage accidents are presented. Accident prevention is also discussed. This report includes tables.

Report discussing earthquake activity in the United States during 1942. The report is broken down by regions and has sections for specific earthquakes.

A report regarding uranium-bearing carbonaceous shale and lignite in the goose creek district in Cassia County, Idaho, Boxelder County, Utah, and Elko County, Nevada.
