Cement Manufacture In Nebraska, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

It is the purpose of this paper to briefly review the history of cement manufacture in the State, to call attention to certain promising exposures of cement rock, and to report upon the first modern cement mill in Nebraska. Not that this State has been slow in recognizing cement as one of the most important modern constructional materials; or slow to recognize the need of developing its natural resources; but due rather to a combination of circumstances. For at least twenty years, many Nebraskans have had in mind the importance of establishing cement plants in this State. Furthermore encouraging inducements …

Coal In Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Until February, 1906, Nebraska was termed "the state without a mine," and may still be called the state with but a single mine, and yet it would be impossible to tell how much prospecting has been done, or to estimate the number of thousands of dollars that have been spent in this state trying to develop paying mines from the thin beds of coal discovered throughout various parts of the state in the Carboniferous and Cretadeous formations.

Preliminary Notes On The Carboniferous Flora Of Nebraska, Roy V. Pepperberg

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

About the middle of July, 1907, while engaged by the Nebraska City Commercial Club in examining the geology of Nebraska City and vicinity, the writer was called b the farm of Mr. C. B. James to look at a bed of what was supposed to be fire clay. This proved to be a Carboniferous deposit of stratified micaceous sandstone, interstratified with a fine compact shale, both of which are yellow in color and very fragile when wet.

The Sand And Gravel Resources And Industries Of Nebraska, George Evart Condra

George E. Condra Publications

Sand and gravel are Nebraska's most important mineral resources. The extensive use which is made of these materials in the building and trade industries not only in our own but in adjoining states, is a factor of economic importance in the industrial development of Nebraska.

Skeletal Parts Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

In the foregoing publication, it was announced that the skull of Moropus had been discovered. Heretofore the genus had been known chiefly by scattered teeth and fragments, mostly toe bones, but now that the collections of Hon. Charles H. Morrill, Nebraska State Museum, have the skeletal parts necessary for the restoration of this remarkable animal, it seems advisable to supplement the brief illustrated report concerning the skull of Moropus with a similar paper concerning its skeletal parts.

The Control, Development And Utilization Of The Missouri River And Its Tributaries, G. E. Condra, H. W. Caldwell, O. V.P. Stout, F. J. Phillips, N. A. Bengtson, George L. Sheldon

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The speakers at this conference were Professors Condra, Caldwell, Stout, Phillips, Bengtson, and Gov. George L. Sheldon, with Dean Charles E. Bessey presiding. The principal object of the meeting was to make known reliable information in regard to the Missouri river, concerning which there is widespread interest and in some instances a tendency to magnify the future possibilities of the river. This paper is an account of the conference. It gives some of the thoughts that were emphasized at the symposium, reciting the facts as they were given by those who have investigated the respective phases of the theme.

The Skull Of Moropus, Erwin Hinckley Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

During the summer of 1905 the Morrill Geological Expedition of the University of Nebraska had the good fortune to discover early in July the skull of Moropus. Associated with it were mandible, atlas and other cervicals, and various skeletal parts.

Tests Of The Strength Of Concrete

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

Since the use of concrete is becoming so general it seems quite appropriate that the tests of concrete in which any Nebraska material forms a constituent part should be recorded where they may be obtained by those interested.. The following tests were made in the Testing Laboratory of the University of Nebraska, and though very limited in number may be expressive of the qualities of concrete mixed from these materials.

Biennial Report, Erwin H. Barbour

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The Nebraska Geological Survey as now constituted has been in operation since 1891, but it has enjoyed state aid during the past four years only. Considering the size of the commonwealth and the limited appropriations for geological work, unusual progress has been made. Since no report covering the work of the first biennium was prepared it will be included incidentally in this paper. Briefly stated the Nebraska Geological Survey during the past biennium has devoted especial attention to the industrial resources of the state, prepared ten o! twelve reports in manuscript form, published eight reports completing volumes I and II, …

Opening Of The Indian Territory, G. E. Condra

Conservation and Survey Division: Faculty and Staff Publications

The opening of Indian country has continued from Colonial days to the present. Usually it has resulted from force and treaty, the strong dispossessing the weak. As a result, the Red man has, in general, moved frontierward, ahead of industrial waves, remaining for a longer time only on reservations set aside for tribes. The Indian's struggle even on these reserves has been a losing one, resulting largely from war, disease, and the cupidity of whites. History shows that Indian life and Indian institutions have not prevailed against the white man's civilization and commerce. GATHERING THE TRIBES. The Indian Territory and …
