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.
Operation Characteristics Of The Series System For Electrolytic Refining Of Copper, John T. O'Donnell
Operation Characteristics Of The Series System For Electrolytic Refining Of Copper, John T. O'Donnell
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
In the copper electrolytic refining operation, two main objectives are desired: the first is the production of a metal of desired chemical composition and physical characteristics, and the second is the recovery of the valuable by-products.
Daibase Sill Comanche County, Oklahoma, Jean A. Hardesty
Daibase Sill Comanche County, Oklahoma, Jean A. Hardesty
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The mechanics of intrusion and the processes involved are becoming of more and more interest to contemporary geologists, because most of our mineral deposits are associated with igneous intrusions, and unknown-outcropping deposits are thought to be a thing of the past. If, by studying these processes, we could understand why some igneous masses are barren, while others of similar composition carry economic mineral deposits, geological prospecting for hidden mineral concentration would see a new era.
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.
Comparative Studies Of Oklahoma And Missouri Granites With Special Attention To The Heavy Minerals Of The Oklahoma Granites, Russell B. Maurer
Comparative Studies Of Oklahoma And Missouri Granites With Special Attention To The Heavy Minerals Of The Oklahoma Granites, Russell B. Maurer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
When examined petrographically the granites of Oklahoma show a marked similarity to the granites of Southeastern Missouri. The same heavy accessory mineral suites are present in the granites of both regions and include: fluorite, zircon, apatite, titanite and epidote. This similarity was further shown by the actual correlation of the heavy mineral suites by types, these types being, based on the heavy mineral distributions of the Missouri Granites.
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.
Geology And Geological Structure Of The Alberta And Saskatchewan Plains, William E. Topley
Geology And Geological Structure Of The Alberta And Saskatchewan Plains, William E. Topley
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Alberta, responsible for ninety per cent of Canada's output, had, by 1947 entered into her fifth year of production decline. Only ten per cent of Canada's oil requirements were secured from home fields. Ninety per cent had to be imported, mainly from the United States. How long could imports be maintained on present levels? During the year, the United States had started rationing; in one sector of its domain. Would this become general? If so, what was the answer for Canada?
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.

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.
Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Salt Chuck-Rush And Brown Mine Area Prince Of Wales Island, Alaska, Judson H. Whitman
Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Salt Chuck-Rush And Brown Mine Area Prince Of Wales Island, Alaska, Judson H. Whitman
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Salt Chuck, Rush and Brown, and adjacent mines and claims form an area of approximately 15 square miles near the head of Kasaan Bay about 10 miles northwest of the village of Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. It is an area of moderate relief in which the hills rise from the water’s edge to heights of some 500 feet. Most of the area is covered with dense vegetation and muskeg.
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.

The Physiographic History Of Western Montana And Northwestern Idaho, John R. Kavanagh
The Physiographic History Of Western Montana And Northwestern Idaho, John R. Kavanagh
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Millions of years of physiographic changes have conditioned us to the fact that our present drainage is a temporary feature. Rivers once flowing opposite to their present direction is not an unusual condition for physiographers to suggest.
An Isopach Map And A Discussion Of The Permian In Wyoming And Adjacent Areas, Willard Leskela
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.
Sulfatizing Roasting Of A Copper Sulfide Ore, Walter D. Finnegan
Sulfatizing Roasting Of A Copper Sulfide Ore, Walter D. Finnegan
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
At present copper sulfide ores are recovered by pyrometallurgical processes. While the recovery of copper from sulfide ores by hydrometallurgical means has long been considered attractive, the impurities, low recovery and mechanical difficulties have kept this process from becoming commercial.
Geology Of The Lost Creek-Modesty Creek Area Deerlodge County, Montana, Howard B. Nickelson, Robert L. Pott
Geology Of The Lost Creek-Modesty Creek Area Deerlodge County, Montana, Howard B. Nickelson, Robert L. Pott
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.
A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren
A Study Of The Action Of Various Energizers In The Carburization Of Steel, William N. Warren
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The object of casehardening is to produce articles of steel having a tough or ductile interior and a hard surface. Quenching produces a surface somewhat harder than the interior, but in order to obtain a high surface hardness, the percentage of alloying elements in the steel must be raised to such an extent that the core or central portion becomes hard and brittle also.
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.
A Study Of The Diffusion Of Electroplated Coatings In The Solid State., Michael R. Writt
A Study Of The Diffusion Of Electroplated Coatings In The Solid State., Michael R. Writt
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The term diffusion means an equalization or homogenization of diverse materials. Specifically applied to metals, diffusion is the interchange of atoms. It is, in effect, an invasion of one crystal lattice by the atoms of one or more other crystal lattices. Therefore, the study of diffusion must involve the geometry and physics of crystal lattices as well as their energies.
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.
