The Foundations Of Lock And Dam No. 26 - Alton, Illinois, John Joseph Livingston

Professional Degree Theses

"The present Upper Mississippi River Canalization Program provides for a channel depth of nine feet, with suitable widths, at low water, in the Upper Mississippi River between the Missouri River and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, as amended by Public Resolution No. 10, Seventy-second Congress, First Session, approved February 24, 1932. The establishment of this nine-foot channel requires the construction of twenty-six dams and accompanying locks - two of which were already constructed - at selected points throughout the distance between Minneapolis and the mouth of the Missouri River...This series …

Application Of Small-Scale, Movable-Bed River Models To Channel Improvement Studies Of The Middle Mississippi River, Eugene H. Woodman

Professional Degree Theses

"This paper deals primarily with the use of small-scale models in the study of plans for improving the channel for navigation in several reaches of the Middle Mississippi River. However, it was considered expedient to include a discussion of hydraulic model experimentation in general before dealing with specific cases, in order that the reader might obtain the greatest possible satisfaction from the discussion.

The first part of this paper includes: a discussion of the theory of models, wherein the value and utility of models are demonstrated; the application of models to hydraulic problems, including the requirements for a model to …

The Latouche Mining Method As Used At The Alaska Juneau Gold Mine, Willard Alexander Gallemore

Professional Degree Theses

"The Latouche Mining Method has been used at the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company only since 1933, and is used in that part of the mine below the main tramming level. It consists of a series of radiating "long holes" (21 feet) drilled from stope raises, over the back of the stope. These holes break the rock into the stopes, from where it goes through bulldoze chambers to oreways leading to chutes on the No. 10 level. On this level, the ore is drawn into Granby Cars, trammed to the Main Shaft, and hoisted to No. 4 level. On this …

Copper Mining In South America, Charles Kenneth Rose

Professional Degree Theses

"The Morococha district is situated in the Andes of Central Peru, Department of Junin, four miles east of the crest of the Western Cordillera, which there forms the Continental Divide. The town of Morococha is at an elevation of 14,800 feet and is connected by rail with Callao, the port of Lima, ninety miles to the west, and with La Oroya, the smelting center, thirteen miles to the east. The Peruvian Central Railway ascends from Lima along the valley of the Rio Rimac to Ticlio (15,665 feet) where it tunnels through the Divide and descends the Yauli Valley to La …

How South-West Wisconsin Tailing Piles Can Be Worked At A Profit, Gerald Henry Pett

Professional Degree Theses

"It was not until the Flotation Process was introduced in this S.W. Wisconsin zinc district that the writer was convinced that some of the tailing piles here could be worked at a profit. In 1928, the Badger Zinc Company built a 120 ton Flotation Plant about two miles north-east of Linden. It was after the second visit to the plant that the writer learned the above company was making a profit of a 5% zinc ore with very little lead and with a low market price for the finished product, namely $30.00 per ton for a 60% zinc concentrate...the body …

Sinking And Equipping Inclined Shafts Of More Than 60 Degree Dip, Wilford Stillman Wright

Professional Degree Theses

"The advisability of putting down an inclined shaft in preference to the vertical type should be carefully considered before a definite choice is made. One, of course, presupposes the existence of a dipping ore body that is to be prospected or developed for subsequent mining. Unless a vein has been previously developed there is no certainty that it maintains the same degree of pitch for any great distance below surfaces. If straight, the proposed inclined shaft may depart considerably from the downward course of the vein with the result, that, at least some of the anticipated advantages of the shaft …

Superstructure Costs Of Short Span Self-Anchored Suspension Bridges, David J. Peery

Professional Degree Theses

"Complete designs and estimates for three self-anchored highway suspension bridges are made in this paper. The span lengths investigated are commonly considered to be shorter than the economic limit for suspension bridges. Simple truss and cantilever bridges are usually considered the most economic types for these span lengths"--Synopsis, page 1.

Hydrography Of The Larger Springs Of The Ozark Region Of Missouri, Warwick Lewis Doll

Professional Degree Theses

"This thesis is based upon a study of the larger springs of the Ozark Region of Missouri and is designed to answer many requests for information about the large springs.

Special studies were made to determine the probable location and approximate area of the drainage areas of the large springs (previous writers have referred to the drainage areas as being “very large" or "enormous", apparently, without any very definite idea as to the extent or the drainage areas). The average run-off per square mile from the assumed drainage area, herein called the "spring factor", was determined for the largest springs. …

An Approach To County Planning - Miller County, Frederick William Hurd

Professional Degree Theses

"The purpose of this report is to present and discuss a proposed eight year state and county highway program as applicable to Miller County. Local needs for transportation service may be most readily and efficiently administered to on the county basis. The highway requirements of the state are now largely for local service roads and it is evident that a fair and just method of allocating this service must provide for the physical characteristics, economical status and local peculiarities of the area involved. We may therefore justly assume that the counties, the smallest political subdivisions in the state having direct …

Conveyor Mining In The Thin Vein Coal Fields At Excelsior, Arkansas, Bernard Degen Boyd

Professional Degree Theses

"From the results obtained after a year and a half of operation using the long face system of conveyor mining in our thin seam of coal, four decided advantages over the old system of room and pillar work with wide rooms have been proven: 1. Operations are concentrated in small sections, thereby permitting larger tonnages to be loaded. 2. One hundred per cent extraction of the vein is obtained (with the exception of main slope pillars) which prolongs the life of the mine. 3. The ventilation of this gaseous vein is simplified. 4. Production costs are reduced"--page 15.

Mercury In The Terlingua District Of Texas, William Woodhouse Kay

Professional Degree Theses

"Material for this paper was assembled during 1936 when the author, with an associate, studied the Terlingua District and did some actual prospecting and mining in various parts of this district. This paper endeavors to describe mercury mining in the Terlingua District of Texas generally. No attempt is made to treat any of the various aspects of this industry too technically as this is not the purpose of this paper"--Introduction, page iii.

Petrographic Analyses Of The Chepultepec Sandstones Of The Norris Reservoir Region, Tennessee, Chilton Eaton Prouty

Masters Theses

"The Norris Reservoir is located in northeastern Tennessee, in the Appalachian Valley. It includes all or portions of Anderson, Campbell, Claiborne, Granger, Knox, and Union counties. The area is shown by the map of Pate I. It is approximately thirty-five miles long in a northeast-southwest direction and about eighteen to twenty miles wide, in a northwest-southeast direction. The area is bounded on the northwest by the Cumberland escarpment and on the southeast by Clinch Mountain. The other boundaries are arbitrarily drawn near the town of Clinton to the southwest and near Tazewell to the northeast"--Introduction. Location and Nature of the …

The Catalytic Vapor-Phase Hydrolysis Of Benzene And Toluene, Clemens Raebel Maise

Masters Theses

"The vapor-phase synthesis of organic compounds represents a new field of study which has attracted the attention of investigators only within recent years. However, wide interest is apparent in this field and several processes of commercial importance have already been developed. Hydrolysis is perhaps the newest of all the types of vapor-phase synthesis; the literature consists of little more than a few patents...The vapor-phase hydrolysis of benzene and toluene, therefore, presented an interesting possibility. These two hydrocarbons are considered very stable toward water in the liquid-phase. The purpose of this investigation was to determine to what extent their stability toward …

A Comparison Of Methods For The Determination Of Iron In Clays And Related Ceramic Materials, Hoyt Gillum Thompson

Masters Theses

"Iron is always present in clay and ceramic products. This element has a definite effect upon the properties of substances containing it, hence it is important for the ceramist to know the exact amount of this element present in a ceramic material. Many methods have been devised for the precise determination of iron, both in large and small amounts. Of the many methods used, the American Society for Testing Materials has listed only two for the examination of clays, refractories, and similar material...However the amounts of iron for which these methods are most suitable are not given. Nor does the …

The Sorption Of Metallic Ions By Wood Pulp During Purification, Harold Edgar Boyd

Masters Theses

"The cost of producing cellulose acetate, and the difficulties attending its dissolving, plasticizing, and application to specific uses are problems which must be investigated before the ultimate commercial development of the material can be realized. The price of the cellulose used as raw material for acetylation is one of the primary factors influencing the cost of the finished product. At present, cotton linters constitutes the chief practical souce [sic] of acetate, being almost pure alpha-cellulose, and cheaper than staple cotton, our other source of high alpha-cellulose, Wood pulp is the only other material offering promise as a substitute for cotton, …

Laboratory Concentration Of A Lead-Zinc-Fluorspar Ore From Southern Illinois, Shiou-Chuan Sun

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain the feasibility of preparing marketable products from a rather complex sulphide-fluorspar ore"--Object, page 2. "The ore was examined exhaustively by chemical, microscopic, and mineralogical methods of analysis. After a thorough knowledge of the physical characteristics of the ore had been obtained, flotation concentration tests were made to separate the sulfide minerals from the fluorspar and to attempt to prepare lead-zinc and fluorspar concentrates of marketable grade"--Scope of Work Done, page 2.

Oil And Gas Resources, Jackson County, Missouri, Joseph Robinson Clair

Masters Theses

"The oil and gas production in Jackson County, though rather small, is nevertheless of considerable economic importance. A portion of the county has been rather thoroughly developed but the remainder has had little prospecting. In order to aid further development in the region the Missouri Geological Survey engaged in the mapping of all the known wells in the county as a basis for preparing a structural contour map of the area. In addition, a member of the Survey staff is stationed permanently in Kansas City to give assistance to the operators in the region and to collect the logs of …
