Side 806 - Hinckley coarse sandy loam is low, probably averaging not nioro than $8 to $15 an acre. The following table gives the results of mechanical analyses of samples of the soil and subsoil of this type: Mechanical analyses of...
Side 164 - Permo-Carboniferous rocks from its source to the point at which it leaves the West Virginia line at Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, a distance of more than thirty miles, furnishing very fine exposures of these rocks along its banks and bluffs; hence the geographical name, Dunkard, which I have given the series.
Side 644 - Survey, the calorific value of coals being expressed in terms of British Thermal Units (BTU), this unit of heat measurement representing the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit in temperature.
Side 282 - It is usually of a yellowish gray cast, and splits readily into building blocks of any desired size. The rock contains much feldspathic material, and occasionally some lime, and in weathering the rock changes from a bluish gray cast to a dirty brown, and frequently decomposes readily, so that as a building stone for exposed surfaces, it is not a success, some of the stone work at the State University in Morgantown having disintegrated badly within a period of only twenty-five years.
Side 675 - In all other regions where the horizon crops there is no coal. In the western portions of Monongalia and Marion counties, where its horizon has been pierced by hundreds of oil wells, the coal is nearly always absent. The coal has been mined for local use in the part of Monongalia county mentioned and has given good results, but there are no mines in it now, owing to the more easily available Pittsburgh coal below. The only sample collected from it was at a hillside prospect where mud seams had filtered...
Side 45 - MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT ANOKA, MINN. This station, which is located at the highway bridge in the southwestern part of Anoka, Minn., was established May 8, 1905, to obtain data for use in studying water power, water supply, pollution, flood control, storage, and navigation problems. The drainage area above the section is about 17,300 square miles. Rum River enters on the left bank about one-half mile below the station. Winter conditions are severe at this station. Ice forms to a thickness of about 2...
Side 288 - On the plantation of Henry Hamilton there is a large flat rock, about 150 feet long and 50 wide, with numerous engravings of animals, well executed — such as panthers of full size, buffalo-tracks, horsetracks, deer-tracks, turkey-tracks, eels, fish, women large as life, human-tracks, otters, beavers, snakes, crows, eagles, wild cats, foxes, wolves, raccoons, opossums, bears, elks, etc.
Side 807 - ... feet or more. Areas of light medium sandy loam too small to be shown on a map of the scale used in this survey are frequently found included in the type.. The subsoil is occasionally tinged with red and in places the underlying sandstone bedrock closely approaches the surface. Sandstone and shale fragments are found upon the surface and throughout the soil mass, usually in quantities sufficient to be conspicuous and to interfere more or less with cultivation. The soil itself is easily tilled,...
Side 415 - The accompanying table furnishes a mean's of ready reference as to the ownership and elevation of the several wells, along with the depth and thickness of the Campbell Creek (No. 2 Gas) Coal, the depth of the important oil and gas horizons, and the name of the producing sands at most of the wells, but it is essential that the complete logs of a number of these borings be published, not only to preserve them from loss, but for the fund of information they contain as to other sands, as well as the...
Side 73 - Science,' viz.: stream piracy of Coal river by the Great Kanawha, because the old valley in question is filled with transported boulders and gravel that could have come only from the crystalline rocks of the Blue Ridge In Virginia, and hence the Kanawha itself must once have flowed along the Teazes valley, and been captured by another stream which led it northward to the newly cut Ohio valley, at Point Pleasant. "If the conclusions here Inferred could be fully sustained by further study of the Ohio...
