The Livingston Formation Of The South Boulder Area, Nelson A. Jones

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The Livingston formation is a thick succession of late Cretaceous lava flows, tuffs, and bedded water-laid volcanic detritus 200 miles long and 100 miles wide lying along the eastern margin of the Rocky Mountains in western Montana from Augusta to Yellowstone Park. It differs markedly within short distances in lithologic character and sequences, and the total thickness may exceed one mile in some places.

Comparative Studies Of Oklahoma And Missouri Granites With Special Attention To The Heavy Minerals Of The Oklahoma Granites, Russell B. Maurer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

When examined petrographically the granites of Oklahoma show a marked similarity to the granites of South­eastern Missouri. The same heavy accessory mineral suites are present in the granites of both regions and include: fluorite, zircon, apatite, titanite and epidote. This similarity was further shown by the actual correlation of the heavy mineral suites by types, these types being, based on the heavy mineral distributions of the Missouri Granites.

Benefication Of An Oxidized Lead Ore From The Franklin Mine Lewis And Clark County, Jack D. Mclenegan

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

This thesis is concerned with the beneficiation of an oxidized lead ore. Emphasis was placed upon concentration by flotation rather than by gravity methods, although some investigation was made with the Wilfley shaking table. The concentration of lead minerals received most consideration in the problem, but wherever possible attempts were made to increase the silver and gold concentration along with the lead.

An Isopach Map And Discussion Of Triassic Strata In Southern Montana And Wyoming, Robert G. Thompson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Oil and gas have been found in the Triassic strata of Wyoming. Although the Triassic has not as yet proven to be a large producing horizon it is very probable that ad­ditional oil will be found in Triassic strata in the future, and it is one of the goals at which oil well drillers aim their tools.

Foraminifera From The Colorado Shale Of North-Central Montana, Higbee G. Williams, David P. Wilson

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The use of foraminifera in the determination of geologic age, and in the correlation of strata, is one of the most important techniques in oil field stratigraphic studies. The petroleum industry in many regions relies on these microscopic life forms to determine the positions of oil-bearing horizons and to determine the tops of beds. In northern Montana the Colorado group of strata, a series of about 2,000 feet of dense, dark similar shales, is known to contain foraminifers.

Calibration Of Pearson Type Eagle Mounting Spectrograph Of 1.5 Meter Length With Grating Lines 15,000 Per Inch, James F. Sullivan

Bachelors’ Theses

The spectrograph which has been calibrated is a Pearson modification of the Eagle mounting. It was originally built for industry but was never set up in a working condition nor was the dispersion of its grating ever calibrated. The ultimate purpose of this thesis was to fulfill the requirements, and to set up the conditions so that the spectrograph could be used for quantitative purposes. This included the measurement of the dispersion of lines performed by the grating, and the recognition of lines of the iron spectrum in order that a quantitative constant could be made.

A Study Of The Street Plan Of Logan, Utah, Paul Walter Gottschalk

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is the purpose of this thesis to make a study of the street plan for the City of Logan, Utah, to attempt to analyze its desirable and undesirable features as they affect the community, and to prepare a solution to eliminate, insofar as possible, the undesirable features and preserving the desirable.

A Guide To Be Used In Evaluating Audio-Visual Aids For Use In The Teaching Of Industrial Arts In The Junior High Schools Of Utah, Dan H. Swenson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

To find the beginning of the use of audio-visual aids in the teaching of industrial arts is difficult, if not impossible. The very nature of the work makes the use of audio-visual teaching methods absolutely indispensable. Long before the term "audio-visual aids" had been coined and before any attention had been given to the teaching method, as such, teachers of industrial arts were making use of the demonstration, the model, the exhibit, and many other teaching devices since included in the scope of the meaning of audio-visual teaching aids.

It would be hard indeed to imagine how a teacher could …

Design Of Shallow Wells For Drainage By Pumping, Lewiston Area, Utah, Gregory L. Pearson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

After approximately 25 years of using open drains in the Lewiston Area, Utah, the water table has not changed appreciably from what it was in 1921 when Hart and Adams (4) conducted their drainage investigations. It is still only about three feet below the ground surface. This is not effective drainage, meeting neither of the two primary drainage requirements of an arid or semi-arid agricultural region, namely; preventing an accumulation of excessive water within the depth of soil required for optimum growth of plant root systems, and maintaining the water table at a depth below the ground surface greater than …

Stabilization Studies On Soil-Cement Mixtures For Experimental Lining--Logan Experimental Section--Logan, Utah, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Reclamation

Elusive Documents

Earth Materials Laboratory Report No. EM-170 covers the laboratory tests made on one type of soil from Logan, Utah, for the purpose of using the soil in soil-cement canal lining experiments. The intention was that two types of soil would be used for experimental linings at Logan, Utah; a fine sandy soil, poorly graded with little or no silt (Classification Symbol SP) and a fine sandy soil with excess silt (Classification Symbol SF-silty). These field test sections which will provide durability and permeability information gathered under natural conditions were carried out as part of a joint lower-cost canal lining experiment …
