Mottling In The Meagher Limestone, Ronald J. White
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.
A Study Of The Divide-Dewey Contact Of The Boulder Batholith, Francis M. Young
A Study Of The Divide-Dewey Contact Of The Boulder Batholith, Francis M. Young
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The batholith is dated as Paleocene or early Eocene. The rocks of the batholith in this area are classified as ranging from quartz-granodiorite to granodiorite. Variation in mineral content causes a chance in color tone from light to dark gray. swarms of inclusions occur in the igneous rock near the contact.
Foraminifera Of The Colorado Shale At Fort Benton, Montana, Robert E. Willson
Foraminifera Of The Colorado Shale At Fort Benton, Montana, Robert E. Willson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Shale is known to be a source-bed for oil, and the Colorado shale which is over 2000 feet thick in places may well be the source for the oil which is now accumulated in the included or closely associated sandstones. A thorough study of the fossil content may not only be helpful in correlation of Cretaceous sediments, but it likewise may be the starting point for studies -which could eventually lead to the discovery of unknown mineral deposits.
A Mineral Dressing Study Of The Benefication Of Philipsburg Manganese Carbonate Ore, Frank M. Antonioli
A Mineral Dressing Study Of The Benefication Of Philipsburg Manganese Carbonate Ore, Frank M. Antonioli
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The beneficiation of rhodochrosite ore to the extent that it is suitable for nodulizing and subsequent use in the steel industry is intriguing. Such ores from certain mines is relatively easy to beneficiate, but the rhodo-chrosite ore from several deposits of the Philipsburg district has never been successfully up-graded by any of the several known beneficiating methods.
Physiographic Surfaces And Weathering Near Butte, Gordon B. Brox
Physiographic Surfaces And Weathering Near Butte, Gordon B. Brox
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Three cycles of erosion have modified the Boulder batholith. The earliest cycle produced a peneplaination that has been largely obliterated by a partially completed intermediate cycle, and the recent cycle now in progress.
An Investigation Of The Gallium-Indium Binary System, Allen D. Kennedy
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.
A Preliminary Study Of The Benefication Of Montana Corundum, John L. Brown
A Preliminary Study Of The Benefication Of Montana Corundum, John L. Brown
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The objective of this thesis was to affect an efficient and economical recovery of corundum. The corundum occurs as a crude ore admixed with quartz and other diluents. Yet, this material is a potential Montana resource of a valuable non-metallic mineral. In view of the strategic importance and the relatively small production of this mineral in the United States, it seems advisable at this time in world affairs to investigate every possible source of this mineral.
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.
A Study Of Some Pre-Cambrian Schists From Yankee Jim Canyon, Park County, Montana, Charles K. Presley
A Study Of Some Pre-Cambrian Schists From Yankee Jim Canyon, Park County, Montana, Charles K. Presley
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
One of the most highly deformed metamorphic rock series in Montana is exposed fifteen miles north of Yellowstone Park, Wyoming in the great gorge known as Yankee Jim Canyon, which was formed by Yellowstone River at that point. These metamorphics are Pre-Cambrian in age, and are almost certainly sedimentary in origin, although the involved and intricate folding which they have undergone has long since obliterated any superficial traces of that origin.
The Lilly Mine Of Powell County, Montana, Wilbur Aikin
The Lilly Mine Of Powell County, Montana, Wilbur Aikin
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
For many years the Elliston District, of Powell County has been a minor producer of gold, lead, zinc, and silver. Although never among the largest producing districts of the state, it has with the exception of the war years supplied a notable tonnage of ore to the neighboring mills ever since the first placer and lode claims were located there during the late eighteen hundreds.
Geology Of Smoke Hollow Area 8 Miles Southeast Of Deerlodge, Powell County, Montana, Floyd C. Bossard
Geology Of Smoke Hollow Area 8 Miles Southeast Of Deerlodge, Powell County, Montana, Floyd C. Bossard
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This investigation was undertaken primarily as a problem in geologic mapping. The stratigraphy was studied as to the character, age, and sequence of the geologic formations that are exposed. The conclusions were based principally on the field relationships and lithology because no fossils were found.
Structure Of Southwestern Montana, Donald W. Levandowski
Structure Of Southwestern Montana, Donald W. Levandowski
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Intrusions of granitic rocks on a large scale are commonly found in the central part of folded mountain systems. Igneous rocks, intrusive and extrusive, are widespread in the mountains of southwestern Montana. An examination of the structural pattern of this area indicates that the fold trends form a radial pattern. How and why this pattern formed and its relation to the igneous activity in the area have not yet been discussed in the literature.
Basic Sills In Cottonwoood Creek Canyon, Jefferson County, Montana, Dale F. Kittel
Basic Sills In Cottonwoood Creek Canyon, Jefferson County, Montana, Dale F. Kittel
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A stratigraphic section of about 2600 feet of upper Beltian to lower Devonian formations exposed in Cottonwood Creek Canyon 11 miles east of Whitehall, Montana, contains about 20 igneous sills. These sills are from 5 to 20 feet thick, and grade from granogabbro to quartz basalt, except for one sill which is 165 feet thick, and is composed of granogabbro and red syenite. The whole sedimentary series is isoclinally folded, and the sills follow the bedding planes closely with localized crosscutting through the beds.
Was Assimilation Important In The Formation Of The Boulder Batholith?, Richard Marvin
Was Assimilation Important In The Formation Of The Boulder Batholith?, Richard Marvin
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Examination of a rock suite from the northern end of the Boulder batholith reveals that four of the eight criteria for assimilation as given by Grout are present. Thus, in the opinion of the writer, there is evidence and trends to signify assimilation, but no indication of the importance that it played in the formation of the Boulder 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.

Purification Department Of Zinc Leaching Division At Anaconda, Montana, J. L. Brown
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The original smelter, known as the Upper Works smelter, was located on the north side of the Warm Springs Creek, just 2 miles east of the city of Anaconda and 26 miles from the city of Butte. By the year 1894 this smelter had a capacity of 500 tons of ore a day.
The Vanadium Plant Of The Anaconda Reduction Works, Tom Liss
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.

Caustic Leaching Of Montana Chromite, Chester Freshour
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Chromite is the most important ore used for the production of chromium and chromium alloys. At present, the domestic production is insignificant as compared with the amount of chromite consumed in the United States.
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.
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
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.
The Fort Union Formation Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Charles Christman
The Fort Union Formation Of Montana And Adjacent Areas, Charles Christman
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Fort Union formation is one of the most important and best known geologic formations of the northern Great Plains, and is found lying almost horizontal at the surface over large areas in this region.
