Tonichi was the terminus of a branch railroad from Corral until May 1945, when the end of the line was removed. The coal deposits were developed by the Southern Pacific Railroad from the 1890's until about 1911, when the mines were abandoned, partly because the coal was found unsuitable for use in locomotives. Other coal deposits, near Los Bronces an… more

Structural Geology of the Hawthorne and Tonopah Quadrangles, Nevada

Description: From introduction: The object of this paper is to describe the salient features of Jurassic diastrophism in parts of the Tonopah and Hawthorne quadrangles in west-central Nevada. The problem is complicated by the lack of continuity of exposures, earlier folding of the older rocks, metamorphism caused by the later granitic in-trusions, and by superposed Tertiary and later normal faults.

The Determination of Phosphorous in Rocks Containing Vanadium

Description: From Abstract: "This paper describes a rapid routine procedure for the determination of phosphorous in the presence of vanadium. Vanadium is reduced with formic acid prior to precipitation of phosphorous as ammonium phosphomolybdate and the ammonium phosphomolybdate is weighed as such."
