A Preliminary Study Of The Micro-Fauna Of Certain Paleozoic Formations Of Montana, George Powe
A Preliminary Study Of The Micro-Fauna Of Certain Paleozoic Formations Of Montana, George Powe
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The study of the micro-fauna of Montana formations has been almost entirely neglected. Because the petroleum industry of this state has not felt the necessity for using micro-paleontology in its sub-surface correlations, the science has been but little used. The Montana Power Company has had an examination made of some of its well cuttings by a competent micro-paleontologist who found some foraminifera in Mesozoic sediments. However, no investigations have been made to determine the presence and character of the micro-fauna of the Paleozoic formations of Montana.
Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores With Special Reference To Those From Neihart, Montana., Thomas Walker Page
Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores With Special Reference To Those From Neihart, Montana., Thomas Walker Page
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the development of a technique it was necessary to learn the fundamentals of ore microscopy as applied to the various minerals of silver, which included the use of reflected polarized light, etch reactions, microchemical analysis, and sight recognition of mineral. In addition it was necessary to become familiar with the accepted criteria of sequence, replacement, and other textural phenomena.

Investigations Concerning Bentonite Deposits Near Ramsay, Montana, Anton A. Anjel, John F. Sullivan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose of Part I of this report is to determine the origin of the bentonite deposits, also to locate them with reference to section corners in the vicinity and to determine their extent.
The field work for this report was done in the fall of 1933 and during the spring of 1934. The roads, geologic contacts, and culture in general were mapped with the use of an open sight alidade and plane table. Distances were determined on the roads by the speedometer on the automobile; the detailed survey in the immediate vicinity of the deposits was done with use …

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Butte-Highland mine is situated at the head of Basin Creek, in the Highland mining district, Silver Bow County, about 14 miles south of Butte. The tunnel portal and present surface plant are at an elevation of about 7350 feet above sea level, facing westward across the head of Basin Creek valley. The "ghost" mining town of Highland lies a mile to the east, near the forks of Fish Creek. Access to the mine is obtained at present from Beaudine's siding, 12 miles west. The property may also be reached, with difficulty, over poor roads from Limekiln hill, or from …
Preliminary Floatation Tests On The Beneficiation Of A Low-Grade Montana Bituminous Coal., William Packwood Given
Preliminary Floatation Tests On The Beneficiation Of A Low-Grade Montana Bituminous Coal., William Packwood Given
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Coal is an aggregation of vegetal matter with varying small amounts of mineral and animal matter which have been so changed by the processes of sedimentation, decay and metamorphism that it has become a dense, dark, combustible substance. It occurs in beds varying in thickness from one foot or less to over 300 feet. The horizontal extent of a bed is sometimes continuous over an area as large as the State of Montana.
Auriferous Tertiary Gravels Near Rocker, In Silver Bow County, Montana, William C. Mclaughlin
Auriferous Tertiary Gravels Near Rocker, In Silver Bow County, Montana, William C. Mclaughlin
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Between the villages of Rocker and Silver Bow, in southwestern Montana, are found an interesting group of placers. Gold occurs in Tertiary gravel beds that are interstratified with beds of rhyolitic volcanic ash. With the aid of a plane table and open-sight alidade, a small portion of the lake-bed area near Rocker was mapped; all distances were paced, but numerous checks assure a fairly accurate map.
The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The development of wrought alloys of aluminum to which high strength and ductility can be imparted by heat treatment began with the work of Wilm and Claesser in Germany, 1905-1911. During this time an alloy was developed which was later commercially produced in that country under the tradename of duralumin. The need for strong, light alloys for aircraft during the World War greatly hastened the development of duralumin.
The Effect Of Impurities On The Electrodeposition Of Zinc From Zinc Sulfate Solution Containing Antimony., Emmitt L. Klebba
The Effect Of Impurities On The Electrodeposition Of Zinc From Zinc Sulfate Solution Containing Antimony., Emmitt L. Klebba
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It has been proven by research and years of experience, that before electrolytic zinc is possible, the electrolyte, as zinc sulfate solution must be prepared as pure as is economical. In other words, the ideal electrolyte must only be a solution of one metal - zinc. Every other metal and carbon must be excluded if good recovery and a firm deposit is to be obtained.
Ammoniacal Sulphate Leach Of Ananconda Zinc Calcine Recovery Of The Zinc By Electrolysis., Authur Jewett Bovee Jr.
Ammoniacal Sulphate Leach Of Ananconda Zinc Calcine Recovery Of The Zinc By Electrolysis., Authur Jewett Bovee Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Zinc is produced from ores by two general methods, distillation and electrolysis.
The general principles involved in the electrolytic zinc process of today were known as far back as 1880. Difficulties encountered in purifying the solution for electrolysis and lack of suitable mechanical apparatus were the main reasons that such a long time elapsed before the process was used to produce zinc in commercial quantities.
Precipitation Of Gold, Silver, And Copper From Cyanide Solutions On Activated Charcoal., Rayworth Francis Howe
Precipitation Of Gold, Silver, And Copper From Cyanide Solutions On Activated Charcoal., Rayworth Francis Howe
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Charcoal has been known for a considerable length of time to have the property of recovering gold, silver, and copper from cyanide solutions of these metals. Quantitative data that may shed light on the mechanism of the removal of these metals is very limited except that charcoal in a form known as activated has the power to abstract gold and silver in considerable quantities from the above solutions.
Alloys Of Lead And Tellurium, Ettore A. Peretti
Alloys Of Lead And Tellurium, Ettore A. Peretti
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Prior to the last few years little practical use was made of the element tellurium, which is obtained from gold and silver tellurides and from the slimes of electrolytic copper refineries. Lately, however, more study has been made of its properties when alloyed with other metals. It was the purpose of this thesis to study the effects of the addition of tellurium to lead, particularly in small amounts.
Conodonts From The Quadrant Shales Of Montana, Don R. Cubbage
Conodonts From The Quadrant Shales Of Montana, Don R. Cubbage
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Conodonts have not been known to exist in Montana prior to the discovery of the specimens discussed and described in this paper. With this fact in mind, the author has endeavored to correlate the species of seven genera found in the Quadrant formation of Montana with similar micro-organisms from other North American areas.
Roasting And Leaching Bulk Copper-Zinc Sulfide Concentrates With The Subsequent Recovery Of The Metals By Electrolysis, Carl Wesley Sawyer
Roasting And Leaching Bulk Copper-Zinc Sulfide Concentrates With The Subsequent Recovery Of The Metals By Electrolysis, Carl Wesley Sawyer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The aim of this research was to investigate the possibilities of roasting and leaching a bulk copper-zinc sulfide concentrate, and the subsequent separation of the metals from the leach solution by electrolytic deposition.
Effect Of Manganese And Arsenic Upon Current Efficiency In The Deposition Of Zinc From Zinc Sulphate Solution, Justin Kelly
Effect Of Manganese And Arsenic Upon Current Efficiency In The Deposition Of Zinc From Zinc Sulphate Solution, Justin Kelly
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Throughout the entire experiment the electrolysis were conducted in an eight-hundred cubic centimeter beaker. An excellent circulation of the solution was assured by means of an electric stirrer, vigorous gas evolution from the anodes, and by means of a regulated feed-discharge system. By means of this balance, solution of the same impurity concentration as that of the electrolyte was fed in the cell just as fast as the discharge was syphoned out.
The Equilibrium Relations Of Nickel Sulfide With Copper And Sodium Sulfides, Walter A. Hamilton
The Equilibrium Relations Of Nickel Sulfide With Copper And Sodium Sulfides, Walter A. Hamilton
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The equilibrium relations of many of the metallic sulfides have long been a source of scientific and commercial interest, of particular interest, are the sulfides of nickel and copper, since the economic recovery of both of these useful metals, from their ores, involves the formation of a sulfide at some stage of the operations.
Leaching Copper Minerals In The Butte District, Kenneth C. Bellows
Leaching Copper Minerals In The Butte District, Kenneth C. Bellows
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The history of mining in Butte is woven about three of our principal metals. The gold placers first attracted the attention of miners in 1863, and reached their peak production in 1867. Silver was the second metal mined, and this operation required the erection of large mills with a consequent increase in mining activity that made the district a prominent producer. Although the presence of copper in the silver ore had been known, the credit for the first development of the copper veins is due Senator W. A. Clark. The original Colusa, Mining Chief, and Gambetta claims were developed to …
A Study Of Montana Bentonite, William P. Ryan
A Study Of Montana Bentonite, William P. Ryan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Research has been undertaken both under Government and private auspices in an endeavor to develop uses for bentonite. Perhaps, the work done to date has had only in consideration the possible industrial importance of bentonite. No simple, quick methods for the determination of the properties or qualities of any particular bentonite have been developed.
In an attempt to establish whether or not there is a means of making rapid simple determinations of the quality of Montana bentonitic clays, and in particular, with regard to the uses to which the clays may be suited. The problem also involves a study of …
The Calcite Veins Of The Livingston Formation, John Moore Conrow
The Calcite Veins Of The Livingston Formation, John Moore Conrow
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
An interesting group of calcite veins occur near Livingston Montana in a zone about eight miles wide and forty miles long in the edge of the Plains region of Montana in front of the Main ranges. The zone extends from the Boulder River south of Big Timber, through Springdale and Hunters Hot Springs, to Potter's Basin just north of Wilsall in Park County. The group of veins is particularly interesting because they cut relatively flat lying strata, suggest a structural relationship to one another, and they are nearly pure calcite.
The present investigation was to determine the position of the …
A Microscopic Study Of Some Volcanic Rocks In The Vicinity Of Butte, Evan Gustafson
A Microscopic Study Of Some Volcanic Rocks In The Vicinity Of Butte, Evan Gustafson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The rhyolite rocks in the vicinity of Big Butte present a very interesting, though complicated study. It seems that no extensive or conclusive work has ever been done upon these extrusives.
I have found that the rhyolites present a very interesting problem, especially microscopically, and that no doubt an intensive study along these lines will solve the problems concerning age relations of different flows and origin of the magma that produced the material for emanations.
The Electrical Resistance Of Metals In Their Hard And Soft States, Eugene A. Avery
The Electrical Resistance Of Metals In Their Hard And Soft States, Eugene A. Avery
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Many investigations have shown that the electrical resistance of soft annealed metals is usually smaller than that of metals in their hard, cold worked state. By annealing cold-worked metals, the electrical resistance decreases to a minimum and then increases upon continued annealing at higher temperatures. The work performed in this investigation upon silver, aluminum, copper, nickel, and soft steel corroborates this idea.
Effect Of Impurities Upon Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of Zinc Sulphate Solution, Robert Jess Smith
Effect Of Impurities Upon Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of Zinc Sulphate Solution, Robert Jess Smith
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
There are many elements which are detrimental to the current efficiency in the electrolysis of zinc sulphate solution. Fortunately the majority of these elements are easily removed in the purification process and cause no further trouble. The elements that are likely to cause trouble in ordinary plant operations are antimony, arsenic, cobalt, nickel, manganese and germanium. The following tests were made to determine the mutual effect on the current efficiency when several of the impurities were present in the electrolyte.
A Study Of The Composition Of Zinc Complex Cyanide Solutions By The Conductometric Method, Robert James Woody
A Study Of The Composition Of Zinc Complex Cyanide Solutions By The Conductometric Method, Robert James Woody
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
As the method or analysis used up to the present time has failed to give quantitative results in determining the composition of zinc cyanide baths, conductometric methods were adopted in this study. Supplementary tests were also carried out in this investigation.
The Leaching Of Electrodeposition Of Iron, Emmett G. Simmons
The Leaching Of Electrodeposition Of Iron, Emmett G. Simmons
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Electrolytic iron as deposited is brittle and therefore must be annealed. After annealing, the material is ductile and closely resembles copper in its behavior under work. It is claimed to be more resistant to corrosion than dead soft iron. It also has the advantage of corroding uniformly ( ordinary soft iron develops pin holes which shorten its life considerably).
The extreme purity of electrolytic iron namely makes it very suitable as a base metal for alloys. Its ductility opens up a field for use in the manufacture of cold rolled strip, seamless tubes, and wire.
The Recovery Of Copper In Sulphide Ores By Roasting, Leaching, And Electrolysis, Jack S. Greenough
The Recovery Of Copper In Sulphide Ores By Roasting, Leaching, And Electrolysis, Jack S. Greenough
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Sulphide ores of copper are insoluble in dilute sulphuric acid leaching solutions, but a very high extraction can be obtained if the copper ore is in the oxidized condition. The problem is to convert the sulphide into the oxide form. This can be done by giving the sulphide ore an oxidizing-sulphatizing roast. Copper sulphate is soluble in water, so acid will be saved in the leaching process if copper sulphate is present. The iron in the copper sulphide ores is present as pyrite, or in combinations as bornite, or chalcopyrite.
The Effect Of The Fe2: Fe3 Ratio Upon The Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of A Copper Sulfate Solution Containing Iron Sulfate, Roy Macfarland
The Effect Of The Fe2: Fe3 Ratio Upon The Current Efficiency In The Electrolysis Of A Copper Sulfate Solution Containing Iron Sulfate, Roy Macfarland
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the treatment of copper ores by hydro-electro-metallurgical methods, not only is copper deposited, but other metals are also dissolved. In practice it has been found* that iron, under certain conditions, causes the copper to deposit on the cathode as a nonadherent precipitate and also that the iron in solution causes a great decrease in current efficiency, especially when the electrolysis is conducted by operating with a higher current density at the cathode than at the anode.
The present investigation deals with the effects of the two valences of iron on the current efficiency and endeavors to determine whether or …
Some Notes On The Composition Of "Copper Pitch", Richard R. Matthew
Some Notes On The Composition Of "Copper Pitch", Richard R. Matthew
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A supply of so-called "copper pitch" ore was received by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology in response to a request by them from a resident of Kalispell, who had previously sent a specimen to the Bureau for a mineralogical analysis.
Since this material was little known and had apparently received but little study under a reflecting microscope, it was thought that such a study might throw some light on the mineralogical and chemical composition of the material.
The Aplitic Body Bordering Roosevelt Drive South Of Butte, Montana, Edward B. Trueworthy Jr.
The Aplitic Body Bordering Roosevelt Drive South Of Butte, Montana, Edward B. Trueworthy Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The area studied consists of a large body of aplite situated 12 miles south of Butte. It extends eastward almost to the Butte-Pipestone road, southward to Lime Kiln Hill and westward a distance of 3000 feet.
The petrographic work was supplemented by a map of the area. Special attention was given to those frequent "Limonite Specks" found in the aplite.
The Effect Of Hydrogen Overvoltage On The Electrolytic Deposition Of Zinc, John M. Munzenrider, Kenneth O. Sweeney
The Effect Of Hydrogen Overvoltage On The Electrolytic Deposition Of Zinc, John M. Munzenrider, Kenneth O. Sweeney
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the deposition of metallic zinc by electrolysis from neutral or acid solution, little difficulty is experienced provided certain impurities are absent from the electrolyte. The use of the process has long been considered as a potential source, patents on the process having been issued as early as 1880. However, the early experimenters failed to realize the importance of impurities in the electrolyte, and for this reason, the process suffered several severe setbacks when commercial plants were built.
The Electrolytic Deposition Of Chromium Upon Aluminum, E. Fults, L. D. Voerge
The Electrolytic Deposition Of Chromium Upon Aluminum, E. Fults, L. D. Voerge
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose or this investigation is primarily to determine the best conditions for plating chromium on aluminum. The work was carried out with the hope of obtaining coherent deposits, and of determining the conditions under which such deposits may be duplicated.
Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams
Preliminary Construction Of A Photo-Electric Cell Concentrator, Stanley S. Williams
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The separation of the valuable portion from the waste portion of an ore is an individual problem for every ore. However, the various methods for accomplishing this end, more or less classify themselves by the physical properties of the constituents of the ore. Most of the properties of minerals have been utilized in some way or other to affect the separation of the valuable from the invaluable parts. Practically nothing has been done so far with color and luster to attain this purpose.
It is believed that the photo—electric cell could also be used in concentrating a certain class of …
