The measurement and computation of flood‐discharge

The Geological Survey has been engaged for more than 50 years in measuring and publishing the discharge of streams of the United States. Measured discharges have ranged in quantity from a small fraction of a second‐foot measured volumetrically to more than 2,000,000 second‐feet measured by use of the current‐meter equipment recently developed by the Survey and described by the writer in the April

Sienna ("ocher") deposits of the Cartersville District, Georgia

Sienna ("ocher") deposits in the Cartersville district, Georgia, occur in the contact zone between dolomitic limestone and underlying quartzite of Lower Cambrian age. These rocks, together with interbedded schists, were folded and recrystallized probably near the close of Paleozoic time. Simple fissures and transverse and oblique faults, formed during the late stages of folding, admitted hydrother

Manganese in a thermal spring in west-central Utah

The hot spring north of Delta, Utah, is of particular interest because it has yielded commercial manganese ore; 715 tons of manganese oxide ore that averaged 20% manganese and 0.26% sulphur is recorded. The deposits occur as a thin bed and as lenses and nodules in a dome about 1,600 feet across and 15 feet high that has been formed subsequent to the dessication of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. The
