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.

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.

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.
