Halaman 16 - ... the largest mapping organization in the country surveying only about 40 per cent of the area in 40 years, the logical demand is for more speed. If these maps are to serve their full purpose in promoting national development the whole country must be mapped within this generation, or, even better, within the next decade. The estimated cost of this mapping program is $40,000,000, including the cost of revising the older surveys.
Halaman 25 - Manganiferous iron ores, by EC Harder. 1917. 13 pages. BULLETIN 667. The Cosna-Nowitna region, Alaska, by HM Eakin. 1918. 54 pages, 8 plates, 3 text figures. Gives results of a study of a previously unexplored region in central Alaska that promised both to furnish a feasible route of travel for pack trains and to yield information on the character of the bedrock. The region is fairly accessible, is well timbered, and includes much fertile land similar to that near Fairbanks. It has produced no mineral...
Halaman 29 - County, especially, where the losses were very heavy, a number of feasible reservoir sites have not been developed because the expense is apparently not yet warranted by the demand for their utilization for water supply alone. A detailed study may show, however, that the value of these sites as reservoirs for flood protection is sufficient to justify the county in assuming part of the cost of construction or assessing it against the properties to be protected. A fundamental requirement for this study...

Halaman 19 - Gushing oil and gas field, Okla., and Its relation to the oil, gas, and water, by CH Beal. 1917. 64 pages, 11 plates, 4 text figures. Sets forth some interesting facts that are thought to be related to the accumulation of oil and natural gas, disclosed on analysis of a large amount of information collected by a petroleum technologist of the Bureau of Mines in connection with the supervision of "oil and gas mining operations on allotted lands leased by members of the Five Civilized Tribes" authorized...
Halaman 25 - Spun- and Burgess, whose reports on the geology of the Tonopah district were published in 1905 and 1909, by applying to the ores methods of microscopic study which were not in general use by economic geologists at the time they wrote but which in other districts have proved of material assistance in the interpretation of ore genesis. Ore was discovered at Tonopah in 1900. In 1915 the district was exceeded in silver output in the United States only by Butte. The total value of the gold, silver, copper,...
Halaman 33 - Reservation is of particular interest in connection with the search for an increased supply of petroleum, because it contains a great area of unleased oil lands; the productivity of the developed fields is high and well sustained; the reservation contains many anticlines and domes, and the development and testa indicate that most of the structurally favorable folds will yield oil; the oil is of high grade; pipe lines and refineries are at hand ; and the lands are being offered for lease.
