Electroplating Of Chromium, Nickel And Copper Upon Titanium, Stanley O. Fong
Electroplating Of Chromium, Nickel And Copper Upon Titanium, Stanley O. Fong
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Recently, there has been a great amount of research work done on the metal titanium. Since it is a light weight metal, with unusual strength and good resistance to corrosion, it may be a possible substitute for aluminum and magnesium alloys, or steel.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Driving between Butte, and Whitehall, Montana, on highway U.S. 10S, one observes an interesting phenomenon in the lower end of Little Pipestone Creek canyon. One side and the bottom of the canyon is cut inthe hard igneous rocks of the Boulder Batholith, and the other side of the canyon is made of unconsolidated sand, gravel, and cobbles.

The Occurrences Of Non-Metallic Minerals In Montana, Samuel T. Mitchell
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This thesis is essentially an abstract of the literature concerning occurrences in Montana of minerals with a non-metallic luster. The discussions give a general description of the occurrences of minerals as reported by the various references, but is not complete as less than 40 percent of the non-metallic minerals known to exist in Montana are discussed.
Sulphidizing Of Cerussite, Emil A. Kovacevich
Sulphidizing Of Cerussite, Emil A. Kovacevich
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The oxide minerals, such as cerussite, are not as amenable to flotation as the sulphide minerals. Sulphidization is the usual means used today to increase the recovery of an oxide flotation; however, sulphidization under the most advantageous conditions does not yield very satisfactory recoveries.
Differential Thermal Analysis Of Some Carbonate Minerals, Paul L. Vandeveer
Differential Thermal Analysis Of Some Carbonate Minerals, Paul L. Vandeveer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Thermal analysis is a relatively new method of determining the general composition of certain mineral substances. As is demonstrated by much of the literature previously written, clays and carbonates are especially adaptable to this method. The full importance of the method is not as yet realized, but it is rapidly approaching that point.
Chemical Analysis Of Igneous Rocks And Variation Diagrams Of Petrographic Provinces Of Montana, Frederick M. Hilpert
Chemical Analysis Of Igneous Rocks And Variation Diagrams Of Petrographic Provinces Of Montana, Frederick M. Hilpert
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A total of 179 chemical analyses of igneous rocks are available for the state of Montana, but these analyses do not cover the entire state in a satisfactory manner. There has been an emphasis on the central part of the state, and an almost complete lack of interest in the southern portion of Montana.

Metal Production From Ore Deposits In Different Host Rocks In Montana, Robert F. Gale
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It is known that many different kinds of rocks serve as host to the ore deposits of Montana, but the relative importance of each of these kinds of rock as a host for ore deposits has never been described in any published report.

A Microscopic Study Of The Ore Minerals From The Mines In The Northern Part Of The Zosell (Emery) Mining District, John P. Joyce
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Any investigation of the many gold silver producing districts of Montana will necessarily include the name Zosell. The Zosell Mining District, often referred to as the Emery District, was never a major producer in the state; however, its location, history, type of deposit, and character of ore, has drawn the interest of many prominent investigators of the mineral industry.

Czarina Mine, Butte, Montana, Prodyot K. Das
Czarina Mine, Butte, Montana, Prodyot K. Das
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Czarina mine operated for a short time during the last Great War, lies in the southwestern corner of the Butte mining district of Montana. This area was worked during the extensive silver mining in Butte during the 1890's, and was prospected from time to time in later years. The orebody of the mine consists of fissure fillings of manganese mineral oxidized to a certain depth, in a fracture zone of the Boulder Batholith.

Mottling In The Meagher Limestone, Ronald J. White
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The middle Cambrian Meagher limestone of southwest Montana is characterized by mottled members that are finely crystalline in the tan part and microcrystalline in the dark matrix. As seen in the literature, similar mottled limestones are thought to be an arrested stage in the dolomitization, or alteration of limestones.

An Investigation Of The Gallium-Indium Binary System, Allen D. Kennedy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Twenty-four alloys, at 5 weight per cent or smaller intervals, were investigated by the thermal method. Very low temperatures had to be attained, because most of the alloy melts supercooled remarkably. Analysis showed only a liquidus and solidus line, and the solidus temperature was the same for each alloy.

The Electrolytic Polishing Of Steel In Solutions Of Sulphuric And Phosphoric Acids, Joseph W. Tripp
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The process of cleaning and pickling the surfaces of steel objects by electrolytic methods has been known and applied since about 1920; the fact that under certain conditions these surfaces acquired a brilliant luster was noted as early as 1928.

The Renova "Syenite" Porphyry Madison County, Montana, James H. Clement
The Renova "Syenite" Porphyry Madison County, Montana, James H. Clement
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Unique feldspar porphyries, syenitic in appearance, and granitic in composition, form an unusually thick sill intruding pre-Cambrian Belt graywacke about eight miles south of Whitehall in southwestern Montana. Commercial deposits of gold and silver ores occur nearby, and may possibly be genetically related to the porphyry, although direct association is not evident. The geologic age is believed to be late Cretaceous or early Tertiary, and the sill may be related to the Tobacco Root batholith.
An Investigation Into The Precipitation Of Copper From Mine Water By Cupric Copper Reduction, And The Subsequent Precipitation Of Copper As Cuprous Chloride, Jack T. Gentry
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The objective of this thesis is to determine the possibility of applying a different method to the recovery of the copper dissolved in the Butte mine waters, and thereby precipitate a purer cement copper with greater efficiency and less iron consumption.

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.

An Investigation Into The Precipitation Of Copper From Mine Water, Using Sulfur Dioxide To Reduce The Ferric Ion Content, David S. Gleason
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.
