Geology And Mines Of The Upper Blackfoot Valley, Montana, Thomas K. Shea
Geology And Mines Of The Upper Blackfoot Valley, Montana, Thomas K. Shea
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purchase and continued operation of the Mike Horse mine in the Heddleston district, by the American Smelting and Refining Company, gives the Blackfoot Valley a renewed promise of a prosperous future in its role as a mining district. In the past, large amounts of placer gold were recovered from the gulches of the area, however, because of the transportation facilities, only the upper portions of a few lodes were exploited by the early miners.
Rugose Corals Of The Madison Group, William R. Paine
Rugose Corals Of The Madison Group, William R. Paine
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
One of the best types of index fossils, and one which occurs most plentifully in the Madison group of formations in Montana, and yet, one which has been little studied, is the group of rugose, or cup, corals. Perhaps this group of fossils has not been studied in detail because their distinguishing characteristics are mainly internal, and laboratory preparation in the form of thin section or polished surfaces is necessary to bring out these characteristics.
Kibbey Sandstone In Montana, Glen Shean
Kibbey Sandstone In Montana, Glen Shean
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Much attention has recently been given, by geologists, to prolific water bearing horizon and a potential oil horizon, known as the Kibbey sandstone, which lies deeply buried under much of central Montana. In some localities the sandstone is dry, and its identification in cuttings from deep wells has in many cases proved difficult.

An Investigation Of A Particular Weldment Failure, Byron Clow
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Two sets of weld-test coupons, supposedly made under identical conditions, were submitted to this institution last year for approval and certification under the A.S.M.E. Welder's Qualification Code. The first set of coupons was unsatisfactory. The second set, made by the same operators one month later, was satisfactory.
Corrosion Testing Of Iron-Tin Alloys By The Salt Spray Method, Bernard T. Mcdonald
Corrosion Testing Of Iron-Tin Alloys By The Salt Spray Method, Bernard T. Mcdonald
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose of this study was to determine the relative rate of corrosion of iron-tin alloys containing low percentages of tin. Since in the world today, a great deal of work is being done to develop large tin deposits and new methods devised to treat these ores, it is possible that the metal will become abundant and will obtain a more important position in the metal industry.
The Corrosion Resistance Of Iron-Tin Compacts As Produced By Powder Metallurgy, Robert W. Gambill
The Corrosion Resistance Of Iron-Tin Compacts As Produced By Powder Metallurgy, Robert W. Gambill
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The art of Powder Metallurgy deals with the preparation of metal powders and their utilization. As a more pertinent definition, the following has been suggested: "Powder Metallurgy is the art of producing metal powders and shaped objects from individual, mixed, or alloyed metal powders, with or without the inclusion of non-metallic constituents".
Geology And Mineral Deposits Of Idaho: A Summary, Paul B. Bronken
Geology And Mineral Deposits Of Idaho: A Summary, Paul B. Bronken
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The great diversity on mineral wealth in Idaho establishes it as one of the principle mining states in the union. Mining first began in the state with the discovery of placer gold in the Pierce City district in 1861, and since that date has become one of the leading industries of the state.
Upper Cretaceous Sediment In Montana, Frank J. Frankovich
Upper Cretaceous Sediment In Montana, Frank J. Frankovich
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Cretaceous sediments in Montana record events during a period of unusual geologic interest. After a long period of extensive submergence of the area during Jurassic time, came a period of varying continental and marine deposition with consequent variations in the types of sediments laid down. A study of these variations, their extent, and their cause has been the primary object of this thesis.
The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy
The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Sandstone is probably one of the most important groups of rocks in existence today. The economic importance of so insignificant a thing as a mass of sand grains grows with the true reality of the situation. By increasing our knowledge of grains of sand, or particles of sandstone in all their ramifications, it would undoubtedly reflect upon our everyday life by increasing commercial possibilities of an undeveloped natural resource of Montana.
Isopach Maps And Discussion Of The Ordovician And Devonian Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Arden F. Blair
Isopach Maps And Discussion Of The Ordovician And Devonian Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Arden F. Blair
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The intensive postwar search for new petroleum horizons has resulted in widespread prospecting in the northern Great Plains. No commercial production has as yet been derived from Ordovician or Devonian rocks in Montana, but the relatively few tests that have penetrated to critical depths have disclosed encouraging conditions which merit further consideration, especially in Devonian strata.
Occurrence Of Native Copper Near Jefferson City, Montana, Terence G. Kirkland
Occurrence Of Native Copper Near Jefferson City, Montana, Terence G. Kirkland
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Sometime prior to 1870, a group of prospectors made what was believed to be a "rich strike' on one of the tributaries of Prickly Pear Creek in Jefferson County, Montana. Instead of striking it rich, they had uncovered a native copper deposit, worthless to them because of its limited extent and remote location, but now of much interest to the geologist, and to the mining engineer because of its possible commercial value.
Electro-Deposition Of Iron From A Chloride Bath, Charles W. Noon
Electro-Deposition Of Iron From A Chloride Bath, Charles W. Noon
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Iron was electro-deposited from a ferrous chloride bath. Studies were made of deposits formed when current density was varied, and finally when both current density and temperature were changed. An attempt was made to lay the ground work for a long range study of the chloride bath, and to determine the most simple conditions possible for obtaining a smooth, even, and thick deposit.
General Geology And Mines Of Northwestern Montana, Robert L. Sandvig
General Geology And Mines Of Northwestern Montana, Robert L. Sandvig

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The term, "insoluble residue," as used in this report is that portion of the original rock sample remaining after the sample has been digested by a mixture of one part hydrocloric acid and two parts water. The remains or insoluble residue from this acid treatment may vary from nothing to I00 percent.
The Use Of Carbides In Refractories, James Adamson Crookston
The Use Of Carbides In Refractories, James Adamson Crookston
Masters Theses
"With the new demands being made on the ceramic industry in mind, it was thought that an investigation of the ceramic possibilities of certain high melting refractory materials might prove of interest and value. The high melting materials are the oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, and hydrides. Since a great deal of work has been done on the oxides, and relatively little on the others, the oxides were dismissed. Of the other groups, the carbides seemed interesting. Of the carbides, the following materials were chosen for investigation: Boron Carbide (B₄C), Zirconium carbide (ZrC), and Titanium carbide (TiC). These materials were chosen …
The Use Of Wetting Agents In Clay Bodies, Nathan Russell Sewell
The Use Of Wetting Agents In Clay Bodies, Nathan Russell Sewell
Masters Theses
"It has been observed that one of the weak points in the present method of commercially preparing stiff mud bodies is the de-airing process, which involves passing them thru a vacuum chamber. Difficulties in maintaining a good vacuum, power costs, and work stoppages due to clogged vacuum chambers, are some of the problems. It was thought that perhaps a very definite contribution could be made in the field of ceramic engineering if some method could be devised for preparing a workable ceramic body of good dry and fired properties without the use of a vacuum chamber. In attacking the problem, …
Ceramic Possibilities Of Some Missouri Clays And Shales, Leonard Nathanael Larson
Ceramic Possibilities Of Some Missouri Clays And Shales, Leonard Nathanael Larson
Masters Theses
"Although many of the shales and clays of Missouri have in the past been, or are presently being used for the manufacture of heavy clay products such as face brick, common brick, sewer pipe, and tile, there is in these post-war years a significant shortage of these products within the state and country. Especially in the northwestern part of Missouri is there a distinct shortage, as only one structural clay plant is known to be operating in that area. The St. Louis and Southeastern Missouri districts are better prepared to meet construction demands, with several structural clay plants operating at …
Rapid Determination Of Alumina In Diaspore Clays, Matthew Julius Kerper
Rapid Determination Of Alumina In Diaspore Clays, Matthew Julius Kerper
Masters Theses
"The alumina content of the diaspore clay is the index to its refractoriness, so it is important to know the alumina content of the diaspore clay. Diaspore is mined in comparatively small pits and naturally the alumina content will vary from pit to pit and will vary to a considerable extent in the same pit. Since a uniform finished product is desired, the alumina content of each pit must be known and frequent checks run on the output of the pits. Chemical analysis is the standard method of determining the amount of alumina in clays. The main objections to chemical …
Some Preliminary Work On Metaphosphates In Ceramics, John Frederick Burst
Some Preliminary Work On Metaphosphates In Ceramics, John Frederick Burst
Masters Theses
"For a good many years the accepted method of cementing ceramic joints was with a mixture of fire clay grog and a plastic clay binder. This did not prove too satisfactory for several reasons. Usually when enough plastic clay was added to give good workability the vitrification was lowered to such an extent that either excessive shrinkage or excessive bloating occurred, depending upon the extent to which the vitrification point was exceeded...In order to obtain a cement with high strength throughout a long firing range the manufacturers have turned to the addition of various organic binders and inorganic fluxes. Most …
