The Vanadium Plant Of The Anaconda Reduction Works, Tom Liss
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
No complete history of mining and smelting will ever be written that does not include a major discussion of the Butte district. The colorful tale of this area plays a major role in the interesting stories of mining. In the fields of mining methods, labor relations end financial manipulations, the Butte area has set a standard.
The Christensen Sillimanite Deposit Southeast Of Dillon, Montana, Everett O. Bracken
The Christensen Sillimanite Deposit Southeast Of Dillon, Montana, Everett O. Bracken
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The minerals sillimanite, kyanite, andalusite, dumortierite, and topaz comprise a group of minerals whose high alumina content and physical properties are particularly desirable in the manufacture of refractory products. Sillimanite is the least plentiful of the minerals of this group, and for this reason it is not used extensively at the present time. However, it would be very desirable to the refractory industry if a suitable domestic source of supply could be established.

An Investigation Into The Precipitation Of Copper From Mine Water, Using Sulfur Dioxide To Reduce The Ferric Ion Content, David S. Gleason
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The experiments which were preformed showed that sulfur dioxide would reduce the ferric ion content of the mine waters to a very low figure. The reduction in the ferric ion content would improve the efficiency of the precipitation process, and also increase the recovery of copper.
The Psilomelane Mineral Of The Butte District, Montana, Logan E. Davis
The Psilomelane Mineral Of The Butte District, Montana, Logan E. Davis
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
During the last few years a great deal of research has been done in connection with the black manganese oxide minerals. This is especially true of the so called mineral psilomelane. It has been proven without a doubt that the name psilomelane has been used in the past to include a great variety of similar black manganese oxide minerals. By the use of X-ray equipment these minerals have been definitely identified.

An Isopach Map And A Discussion Of The Cambrian Strata In The Central Cordilleran Area, Rudi Forhan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the past few years intensive studies have been going on concerning Cambrian formations as a locale for orebodies. Many of the dolomites and limestones of southwestern Montana are susceptible to replacement by mineralizing solutions, especially when overlain by a rather impervious layer of shale, as is the Pilgrim limestone of Upper Cambrian time.
The Livingston Formation Of The South Boulder Area, Nelson A. Jones
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.
Benefication Of An Oxidized Lead Ore From The Franklin Mine Lewis And Clark County, Jack D. Mclenegan
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
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
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.
Geological Report Of Conrow Wood Creek Area 8 Miles N.E. Of Whitehall, Montana, Kenneth M. Judd
Geological Report Of Conrow Wood Creek Area 8 Miles N.E. Of Whitehall, Montana, Kenneth M. Judd
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Plane table and pacing methods were used in the mapping of the individual areas, but an automobile traverse was used to tie the independent areas into a composite group that would be useful for the entire zone. All land marks, section corners, roads, fence lines, drainage, and geologic features were plotted in the field and later transferred to a master map.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
