Underground Stratigraphy Of Montana, Virgil R. Chamberlain
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The purpose of this thesis is to study the subsurface stratigraphy of the state of Montana from information acquired from well logs, composite logs, and measured sections. Underground stratigraphy is important for the intelligent prospecting for oil, gas, or water. A knowledge of the strata beneath us can be gathered only by measurements of numerous outcrops or by deep drilling with careful sampling or logging of the formations passed through.

The Geology Of The Southern Central Portion Of The Morrison Cave Area., Arthur Talpt
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Morrison Cave is located about 50 miles southeast of Butte, Montana. It was named after the man who discovered it. Later it was taken over by the State and renamed Morrison Cave State Park. Recently the government with the aid of the Civilian Conservation Corps has built a new road to the cave and has made the interior more accessible. The name of the cave is now Lewis and Clark Cavern National Monument.
The Presence Of Rhenium In Montana Manganese Ores., Henry E. Swanson
The Presence Of Rhenium In Montana Manganese Ores., Henry E. Swanson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Rhenium properties offer many interesting possibilities, therefore any ores containing rhenium would be of considerable value. Its close relationship to manganese in the periodic table led to the belief that manganese ores would be an excellent place to search for the metal. Investigation of the literature of rhenium revealed that no ore was known to contain more than 0.001 per cent of rhenium.

Geology Of The Tuxedo Mining District, R. W. Lawson, B. R. Tarrant, A. L. Gallagher
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Tuxedo mining district lies fifteen miles west of Butte on the south east end of Deer Lodge valley. Prospecting and mining has been carried on in this district for about 20 years. As a result many pits have been dug, several adits have been driven, and two or three shallow shafts have been sunk.
A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling
A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In many deposits of silver ores the grade of the ore decreases considerably a few hundred feet below the surface. It is believed that in many cases the better ores owe their richness in part to the process of sulphide enrichment. It is recognized, however, that many rich silver ores are hypogene deposits that have been affected very little, if any, by processes of enrichment.
The Extraction Of Manganese From Manganese Flue Dust., John Raymond Moore
The Extraction Of Manganese From Manganese Flue Dust., John Raymond Moore
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It is estimated that 90 to 95% of the world’s consumption of manganese is used in the steel industry in the form of either ferromanganese or spiegeleisen. The remainder is used in the form of either salts or oxides, chloride, dioxide and monoxide.
The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick
The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The use of zinc as a structural metal has been militated against by two of its properties, namely, its low tensile strength and its susceptibility to grain growth. The importance of these factors can be appreciated when it is realized that the tensile strength of coarsely crystalline cast zinc is 4,000 pounds per square inch, while finely crystalline cast zinc has a tensile strength of 12,000 pounds per square inch.

Attempted Proofs Of The Differentiation Of Magmas By Syntexis, Clifford Wendel
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation was an effort to obtain proof of the much disputed principle that most of the observed magnetic differentiations have been due to the assimilation, or syntexis, of the intruded country rocks.
The General Geology Of The Cardwell Mining District, Clyde Congdon
The General Geology Of The Cardwell Mining District, Clyde Congdon
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Cardwell Mining District is part of the greater Whitehall Mining District. The district is situated about four miles to the east and northeast of Whitehall in the southern end of the Bull Mountains which are near the Continental Divide. The first reported production was in 1896 after the discovery of the Mayflower Mine. Mining has been carried on intermittently and on a small scale since that time.
Microscopic Study Of Montana Silver Ores., Edwin Johnson
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.
The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar
The Geology Of Lost Creek Canyon With Special Reference To Igneous Activity, John Kolesar
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation was undertaken primarily as a problem in geologic mapping, coupled with a study of stratigraphy, glaciation, igneous phenomena, and structure. The area is admirably suited to a study of geology and geologic events. Because it is small in extent, the area was studied in some detail during the time which was devoted to field work. The record of igneous activity of past geological ages is remarkably well exposed, since Lost Creek Canyon was carved through the roof of a stock or batholith by the glaciers of the Pleistocene epoch.
Siliceous Sponge Spicules Of The Quadrant Formation From Montana., Lester Zeihen
Siliceous Sponge Spicules Of The Quadrant Formation From Montana., Lester Zeihen
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A sponge spicule is a siliceous or calcareous individual or group of rays which form a framework for the sponge. Sponge spicules are very delicate and easily broken. The methods used in obtaining micro-fossils vary considerably with the type of material from which they are to be recovered and the frailness of the fossil obtained.
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.

The Separation Of Tungstic Oxide From Scheelite And Its Subsequent Reduction With Hydrogen, Dave Jones
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The largest known deposits of tungsten ores occur in the continuation of the Indo-Malayan Mountains, which extends through Burma, Malaya, China, Japan, and Chosen. Production of tungsten concentrates was started in 1910 in Burma, and in 1911 this country was the world's largest producer. China produced but little until 1916, but has since supplied over fifty per cent of the world's requirements.
A Preliminary Study Of The Micro-Fauna Of Certain Paleozoic Formations Of Montana, George Powe
A Preliminary Study Of The Micro-Fauna Of Certain Paleozoic Formations Of Montana, George Powe
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The study of the micro-fauna of Montana formations has been almost entirely neglected. Because the petroleum industry of this state has not felt the necessity for using micro-paleontology in its sub-surface correlations, the science has been but little used. The Montana Power Company has had an examination made of some of its well cuttings by a competent micro-paleontologist who found some foraminifera in Mesozoic sediments. However, no investigations have been made to determine the presence and character of the micro-fauna of the Paleozoic formations of Montana.
