Manganese Oxide Deposits Near Butte And Development Since 1942, Emmett M. Gilmore
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The manganese minerals occur in the peripheral zone of the Butte district with quartz in veins, which at depth contain galena and sphalerite closely associated with silver-bearing minerals. The manganese oxides are all oxidation products formed by weathering of primary rhodochrosite or rhodonite.
Concentration Of Manganese Dioxide From Philipsburg, Montana, W. M. Mcauliffe
Concentration Of Manganese Dioxide From Philipsburg, Montana, W. M. Mcauliffe
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Imports of manganese ore probably supply a major proportion of the needs of the United States. Domestic production is reported to be higher than pre-war levels, but does not equal that of the peak production year of 1943. In 1946, the Anaconda Copper Mining Company accounted for 90 percent of the total shipments of manganese nodules, and this company is the largest producer of domestic metallurgical ore in the United States.
Geology Of Montana, Stanley G. Olson
Geology Of Montana, Stanley G. Olson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A vast amount of information has been published by many workers on particular features of the geology of the state of Montana, as well as on local geology of many smaller divisions. However, a satisfactory summary of the geology in general, which would include all phases of geology as they apply to the greater area of the entire state, has not been published.
Sandstones Of The Lance And Fort Union Formations, Alan G. Conner
Sandstones Of The Lance And Fort Union Formations, Alan G. Conner
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Fort Union and Lance formations are widespread terrestrial sediments exposed in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Canada. Their stratigraphic position, especially that of the Lance, has long been in doubt, and has provoked much controversy among geologists.
Flotation Concentration Of A Montana Lead-Zinc-Silver-Ore, Grover W. Gregson
Flotation Concentration Of A Montana Lead-Zinc-Silver-Ore, Grover W. Gregson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Mike Horse mine, in the Huddelston mining district, is fifty-two miles northwest of Helena, Montana. The mine was discovered in 1898 by Joseph Heitmiller. There was only minor production from the date of discovery until 1915; the main drawback being lack of good road.
Karst Kamp Asbestos Deposits Gallatin County, Montana, Thomas L. Wilson
Karst Kamp Asbestos Deposits Gallatin County, Montana, Thomas L. Wilson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Karst Kamp, a southwestern Montana recreation resort, is 32 road miles south of Bozeman on the east bank of the Gallatin River in a narrow V-shaped valley flanked on the west by the rugged Madison mountain range and on the east by the equally rough Gallatin range. The asbestos deposit itself lies approximately one-half mile northwest of the ranch on a heavily timbered "Alpine-like" slope nearly 1200 feet above the floor of the valley.
Geology Of The Lost Creek-Modesty Creek Area Deerlodge County, Montana, Howard B. Nickelson, Robert L. Pott
Geology Of The Lost Creek-Modesty Creek Area Deerlodge County, Montana, Howard B. Nickelson, Robert L. Pott
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In 1915 the United States Geological Survey published a folio by Calkins and Emmons on the geology of the Philipsburg Quadrangle, which adjoins the area now under study to the west. Geology of this portion of Montana had not been mapped previously; consequently the purpose of this thesis is to make a geological reconnaissance of the stratigraphy and structure of the area.
Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King
Leaching Of Low Grade Rhodochrosite, E. D. King
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Although there are many uses for manganese today, none of them approaches its importance as a deoxidizing agent in the manufacture of steels. Without manganese the steelmaking industry would be very seriously handicapped. The metallurgy of manganese has been developed around the high-grade ores, and unfortunately, our reserves of high-grade ores are very limited.
A Discussion Of The Geology And An Isopach Map Of The Pennsylvanian System In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, B. R. Alto
A Discussion Of The Geology And An Isopach Map Of The Pennsylvanian System In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, B. R. Alto
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Pennsylvanian strata in Wyoming and adjacent areas have been the subject of much work and discussion. Most of the work has been due to the economic importance of the system as an oil producer in this region. Oil production from strata of Pennsylvanian age is rather recent history; and therefore, much of the available information is localized and incomplete.
The Physiographic History Of Western Montana And Northwestern Idaho, John R. Kavanagh
The Physiographic History Of Western Montana And Northwestern Idaho, John R. Kavanagh
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Millions of years of physiographic changes have conditioned us to the fact that our present drainage is a temporary feature. Rivers once flowing opposite to their present direction is not an unusual condition for physiographers to suggest.
An Isopach Map And A Discussion Of The Permian In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, Willard Leskela
An Isopach Map And A Discussion Of The Permian In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, Willard Leskela
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The accelerated post-war demand for petroleum products with resultant high prices and dwindling reserves has spurred producers to an extensive search for new fields and for additional production in known fields. Exploration and discovery is dependent on the collection and correlation of vast amounts of data both in the field and that found in literature.
Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy
Roasting And Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Jerry D. Murphy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The United States, although the leading consumer of chromite, depends almost entirely on imports for its supply. Domestic production of chromite is limited, because high-grade imported ore is plentiful and inexpensive in normal times. There are several large deposits of chromite in the United States, representing millions of tons of low grade ore. These deposits form a strategic reserve that must be used in time of national emergency.
A Mineral Dressing Study Of The U.S. Grant Ore, John Emmett Murphy
A Mineral Dressing Study Of The U.S. Grant Ore, John Emmett Murphy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation concerns the development of a satisfactory method or extracting or concentrating gold and silver from the ores of the U. S. Grant Mine. The choice between applying an extractive process and one by which the valuable mineral constituents are concentrated depends on more than one factor.
Geology Of Upper Bear Gulch And Dry Boulder Creek Area Madison County, Montana, Norman King
Geology Of Upper Bear Gulch And Dry Boulder Creek Area Madison County, Montana, Norman King
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Potential gold mines lie high among the rugged peaks of the Tobacco Root Mountains of southwestern Montana. This is a region where little geologic work has been done, though extensive mine operations have been carried on, and valuable ore has been shipped.
