  • Quicksilver Deposits of Steens Mountain and Pueblo Mountains Southeast Oregon
    Quicksilver Deposits of Steens Mountain and Pueblo Mountains Southeast Oregon GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN 995-B A CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMIC GEOLOGY QUICKSILVER DEPOSITS OF STEENS MOUNTAIN AND PUEBLO MOUNTAINS, SOUTHEAST OREGON By HOWEL WILLIAMS and ROBERT R. The object of this survey was to examine the quicksilver deposits with the hope of locating large tonnages of low-grade ore. The deposits occur in the south-central part of Harney County and are more than 100 miles from either Burns, Oreg., or Winuemucca, Nev., the nearest towns. The region is sparsely settled by stockmen; Fields, Denio, and Andrews are the only settlements. The range consisting of Steens Mountain and Pueblo Mountains is a dissected fault block, 90 miles long in a north-south direction and as much as 25 miles wide, tilted gently to the west. Pre-Tertiary rnetarnorphic and plutonic rocks occur at the southern end, but most of the block consists of Pliocene volcanic rocks. The major boundary faults on the east side of the range are concealed by alluvium. Minor northwestward-trending faults branch from them, their throws diminish­ ing toward the crest of the range; other minor fractures occur near, and parallel to, the mountain front. The quicksilver lodes were formed in and along these subsidiary fractures. The lodes occur in a more or less continuous belt just west of the eastern front of the range. They are steeply dipping and arranged in subparallel clusters, commonly standing out as resistant siliceous ribs against the softer kaolinized rocks that flank them. The lodes were formed in two hydrothermal stages, the first producing the reeflike masses of chalcedony and quartz with their halos of limonitic and calcitic clays and the second introducing silica and barite along with sulfides of iron, copper, and mercury.

  • Plant Communities of the Steens Mountain Subalpine Grassland and Their Relationship to Certain En
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John William Mairs for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography presented on April 29, 1977 Title: PLANT COMMUNITIES OF THE STEENS MOUNTAIN SUBALPINE GRASSLAND AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO CERTAIN EN- VIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Robert E. Frenkel Plant communities in a 3.5 km2area along the summit ridge of Steens Mountain, Harney County in southeastern Oregon are identified. The character of winter snow deposi- tion and spring melt in this subalpine zone is a major fac- tor in producing the vegetation pattern.Past domestic grazing, topography, wind pattern, climate, soil depth and soil moisture availability are related to the present vege- tation mosaic. Computer-assisted vegetation ordination of 278 tran- sect-located sample units using SIMORD and tabular plant association analysis of 346 areally-located releves using PHYTO were applied complementarily. Aided by the interpre- tation of true-color aerial photography (1:5000), this analysis revealed and mapped 12 plant communities and one additional combination community named after dominant species. After comparison of four selected similarity indexes commonly used in vegetation ordination analysis, Sorensen's modified similarity index was chosen as best for interpretation of stand groupings in the study data. The general vernal snow cover recession pattern was verified with LANDSAT-1 digital data representations. Plant communities associated with snow deflation, or crest, areas are Erigeron compositus-Astragalus whitneyi,

Nicastro, Author Mr. Dennis O'Connell, Photographer Printed by Painted Post Press, Painted Post, N.Y. Private Property All buildings and properties mentioned and/ or shown in this book are privately owned and must be accorded all due respect. No one should attempt to inspect said buildings and properties without prior permission from the present owners. PLEASE HELP KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL - You can help maintain our proud heritage and history in Big Flats by depositing all litter, cigarettes and matches in their respective, proper receptacles. Acknowledgment As an American who is eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution, it has been an exciting venture for me to compile this little Bicentennial history of sites in Big Flats, New York. History is made up of many things, mostly people. Big Flats was carved out of the pine forest of the flat lands and the hard woods of the hills by hardy souls who came here to build a new life in a new land. No history is 100% complete or 100% accurate. People who make history are often too busy to keep daily diaries. So we have to dig back into our past via oral tradition, artifacts, old buildings, news clippings, photos, personal letters, etc. Many people have helped me do the research. First of all my daughter, Veronica, who at age twelve was my inspiration to keep going when mind and body were ready to quit.

The advent of the Space Age brought high-energy fuels into sharp focus. Boron compounds have offer­ ed promise as on important component of these fuels and have received much publ icity in this connection. Thus attention has been directed to possible new sources of boron even though no shortage of domestic sup­ pi i es can be foreseen at present. Around the turn of the present century borax was harvested commercially from crusts formed on the sur­ face of Alvord Volley, south of Alvord Lake, in southern Harney County, southeastern Oregon, just east of the famous Steens-Pueblo Mountains. In 1957-58 a minor boom developed in applications for prospecting permits on federal land in the gen­ eral vicinity of Alvord Lake basin. The present paper describes the conditions of boron occurrence in the basin and attempts to bring developments in the area up to date. In July, 1947, the author was in the basin locality and sampled the water of Hot Lake at one outlet; the assay returned 80 p. p. m. of B203. During the last week of August and the first week of September, 1960, the area was revisited and thermal springs sampled as described in the following text.

  • Aquisition of a Terrestrial Laser Scanning System for Polar Research
    ACQUISITION OF A TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING SYSTEM FOR POLAR RESEARCH Submitted to Office of Polar Programs, 25 January 2007 C. Meertens, Bjorn Johns and David Phillips, UNAVCO Phillip Kyle, New Mexico Tech (Optech ILRIS-3D) Taylor Glacier (left), with visible stream channels, ows from the East Antarctic plateau and terminates in Lake Bonney. (Photo: Dennis Kenley.) Project Summary: Advances in Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) technology and recent compelling applications of TLS to Earth science research represent new and exciting opportunities for the polar geoscience community. TLS technology is based on Light Distance and Ranging (LiDAR) and is also referred to as ground-based LiDAR or tripod LiDAR. The primary capability of TLS is the generation of high resolution 3-dimensional maps and images of surfaces and objects over scales of meters to kilometers with centimeter or sub-centimeter precision. This allows for high accuracy mapping as well as the determination of surface changes over time via repeated measurements. The incorporation of GPS measurements provides accurate georeferencing of TLS data in an absolute reference frame. The addition of digital photography yields photorealistic 3D images. Moreover, TLS systems are portable and therefore suitable for a wide spectrum of user applications in polar environments. This proposal is for the acquisition of a TLS system and associated digital photography equipment, TLS software and deployment equipment optimized for use in Antarctic and Arctic regions. This TLS system will be a shared resource managed by the UNAVCO Facility and integrated into UNAVCO’s ongoing support for NSF Office of Polar Programs (OPP) projects. Considering the expense of TLS equipment and the expertise needed for successful operation, this approach represents the most cost effective means of making this technology accessible to the OPP research community.
