Geology Of Some Gold Deposits Of Montana, Leo Edwin Efraimson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Gold is one of the rarer metals in nature, and chemically it is one of the most inactive. Gold forms stable, natural compounds with few other elements, and only with metals.
A Metallographic Study Of Primitive Copper Work., John A. Alley
A Metallographic Study Of Primitive Copper Work., John A. Alley
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The field of archaeology and that of metallurgy appear to be widely separated and in no way related. Work done in recent years, however, tends to show that, in many ways, the metallurgist can supplement and enhance the information gained by the archaeologist, at least in regard to those objects which have been made of metal.
Attempted Proofs Of The Differentiation Of Magmas By Syntexis, Clifford Wendel
Attempted Proofs Of The Differentiation Of Magmas By Syntexis, Clifford Wendel
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation was an effort to obtain proof of the much disputed principle that most of the observed magnetic differentiations have been due to the assimilation, or syntexis, of the intruded country rocks.
A Metallurgical Study Of Gold Ores, Alfred A. Bloom
A Metallurgical Study Of Gold Ores, Alfred A. Bloom
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Gold is widely distributed in the earth's crust in small quantities. Gold is found in nature in two forms; the element itself and the compound gold telluride. In all cases, silver in some proportion is an alloying constituent.
Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr.
Electrolytic Recovery Of Copper And Zinc From Brasses, Thomas Barker Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Reclaimed metals, or secondary metals, are becoming of great importance in the metal industries of the world. Secondary metals are an important factor in production. The increase in the secondary production of copper is due to many factors. One of these may be its permenance, that is, the metal does not corrode very readily. Another reason for increase in production is the high price paid for it.
Microscopic Study Of Montana Silver Ores., Edwin Johnson
Microscopic Study Of Montana Silver Ores., Edwin Johnson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A microscopic investigation of the Montana silver minerals was conducted. This study consisted mainly of identifying the silver and silver-bearing minerals and of determining their paragenetic relationships. The increasing amount of research in which the reflecting microscope is employed is evidence of the great value of this method of approach in the solution of problems of paragenesis of the opaque minerals.
The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar
The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation was undertaken primarily as a problem in geologic mapping, coupled with a study of stratigraphy, glaciation, igneous phenomena, and structure. The area is admirably suited to a study of geology and geologic events. Because it is small in extent, the area was studied in some detail during the time which was devoted to field work. The record of igneous activity of past geological ages is remarkably well exposed, since Lost Creek Canyon was carved through the roof of a stock or batholith by the glaciers of the Pleistocene epoch.
A Preliminary Study Of The Ostracoda Of The Big Snowy Group, Mississippian, Of Montana., John C. Rabbitt
A Preliminary Study Of The Ostracoda Of The Big Snowy Group, Mississippian, Of Montana., John C. Rabbitt
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the field, samples were taken vertically and horizontally along the various outcrops in different sections of central and south-central Montana. At important localities the samples were taken about every half-foot vertically; in other sections they were taken every few feet.
The Electrodeposition Of Manganese From Certain Aqueous Solutions, Fred J. Hill
The Electrodeposition Of Manganese From Certain Aqueous Solutions, Fred J. Hill
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Careful examination of the literature available shows that the electrodeposition of manganese from various aqueous solutions has not been attempted to any great extent. The best method for the electrodeposition of pure manganese consists in the electrolysis of a solution containing manganous and ammonium sulphates.
The Staining Effect Of The Hydrochloric Acid-Chromate Trioxide Solution On The Minerals Of The Chalcocite-Stibnite-Galena Ternary System., John W. Johns Jr.
The Staining Effect Of The Hydrochloric Acid-Chromate Trioxide Solution On The Minerals Of The Chalcocite-Stibnite-Galena Ternary System., John W. Johns Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The object of this work has been to devise a method by which the different phases in the chalcocite-stibnite-galena ternary system may be identified. As the mineralogists have no precise methods for the identification of these phases, a hydrochloric acid-chromate trioxide staining solution was employed.
Occurrence And Origin Of Placer Gold In Montana, John K. Halse
Occurrence And Origin Of Placer Gold In Montana, John K. Halse
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
From time immemorial man has used gold as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, as jewelry and for ornamentation. Placer gold has led directly or indirectly to the settlement of lands, California and Alaska being the two best known examples. It has led the way to the discovery of other important mineral wealth, the discovery of the copper and silver deposits at Butte, Montana and the discovery of the silver deposits at Cripple Creek, Colorado being two good examples.
An Investigation Of The Properties Of Some Of The White Metal Alloys, William James Walsh Jr.
An Investigation Of The Properties Of Some Of The White Metal Alloys, William James Walsh Jr.
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Although there is no standardized list of alloys, most investigators have, to avoid confusion, concurred in at least grouping the metals under several general heads. Precious metals: gold, silver and the platinum group; the light metals: aluminum and magnesium; the non-ferrous metals (excluding all steels and iron-base alloys); and the antifriction metals.
The Separation Of Tungstic Oxide From Scheelite And Its Subsequent Reduction With Hydrogen, Dave Jones
The Separation Of Tungstic Oxide From Scheelite And Its Subsequent Reduction With Hydrogen, Dave Jones
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The largest known deposits of tungsten ores occur in the continuation of the Indo-Malayan Mountains, which extends through Burma, Malaya, China, Japan, and Chosen. Production of tungsten concentrates was started in 1910 in Burma, and in 1911 this country was the world's largest producer. China produced but little until 1916, but has since supplied over fifty per cent of the world's requirements.
Siliceous Sponge Spicules Of The Quadrant Formation From Montana., Lester Zeihen
Siliceous Sponge Spicules Of The Quadrant Formation From Montana., Lester Zeihen
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A sponge spicule is a siliceous or calcareous individual or group of rays which form a framework for the sponge. Sponge spicules are very delicate and easily broken. The methods used in obtaining micro-fossils vary considerably with the type of material from which they are to be recovered and the frailness of the fossil obtained.
The General Geology Of The Cardwell Mining District, Clyde Congdon
The General Geology Of The Cardwell Mining District, Clyde Congdon
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Cardwell Mining District is part of the greater Whitehall Mining District. The district is situated about four miles to the east and northeast of Whitehall in the southern end of the Bull Mountains which are near the Continental Divide. The first reported production was in 1896 after the discovery of the Mayflower Mine. Mining has been carried on intermittently and on a small scale since that time.
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.
The Effects Of Zinc Sulphate, Manganese Sulphate, And Iron Sulphate On The Lead Storage Cell., George A. Mccracken
The Effects Of Zinc Sulphate, Manganese Sulphate, And Iron Sulphate On The Lead Storage Cell., George A. Mccracken
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The lead storage battery as it is used today is made up of the pasted type plates of lead dioxide, the anode, and sponge lead, the cathode, and wooden or hard rubber separators, which serve to insulate these from one another. In manufacturing these, it is desirable to keep them free from impurities.

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.
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.

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 …
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.
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.
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.
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.
