This bulletin, a supplement to Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin 173, presents a comprehensive listing of the literature on the geology and mineral resources of Arizona released since January, 1965, through December, 1970. In compiling the list, the authors have used freely the several bibliographies of North American geology, issued as bulletins by the U. S. Geological Survey, and the U. S. Bureau of Mines List of Publications. In addition, many serials and irregularly issued publications have been examined and applicable articles noted.

This bibliography provides references for each known metallic mineral district in Pima and Santa Cruz Counties in Arizona. In a mineral-district classification, known metallic mineral occurrences are grouped according to geologic and metallogenic criteria rather than the geographic associations used in the traditional mining-district approach (Keith and others, 1983a,b). Ideally, a mineral district should consist of mineral occurrences that have a common genesis. A mineral-district classification is especially useful for understanding the geologic setting of mineralization and the distribution of known mineral occurrences with similar geology. A mineral-district map, however, is by no means a statement of mineral potential because future mineral discoveries within and outside established districts will affect district boundaries. Although understanding the distribution of known mineral deposits is essential in evaluating mineral potential, many other geologic and technologic factors must also be considered (Fellows, 1984). This circular is the third in a series of county-by-county bibliographies for metallic mineral districts in Arizona. This and other circulars are based upon the work of Keith and others (1983c), but provide a more usable format and more comprehensive reference lists than the latter publication. Nearly 1,100 citations are listed in this circular.

This report, a companion to Open File Report 90-5, Publications of the department of Mines and Mineral Resources from 1939 to 1990, is a serial listing of the publications of the Department from September 1990 to December 2004. All of the publications are available for inspection at the Department’s office. Photocopies may be obtained for out-of-print publications. More information on current Department publications is available from the Department’s publication list, either at the ADMMR website or in a printed copy.

This report is based upon a study which was conducted during the period of March 1, 1969, through February 28, 1970. It was undertaken by the Arizona Bureau of Mines to fulfill the stipulation and conditions of a contract entered into by the Arizona Board of Regents, for the Arizona Bureau of Mines, with the Four Corners Regional Commission through the channel of a Technical Assistance Grant- Project No. FCRC 1095012 File No. 191-400-007. Under the terms of the contract, the Arizona Bureau of Mines has assembled data that are designed to assist in developing a fundamental understanding and a geological perspective of the occurrence of coal, petroleum, natural gas, helium and uranium in Arizona. It is hoped that this effort will serve those who are interested in the search for additional supplies of these potentially economic substances, and, in addition, will constitute the base for continuing efforts by the Arizona Bureau of Mines and other agencies concerned with the orderly development of these and other natural resources. Presentations are made in three parts, namely: (1) Coal; (2) Oil, Natural Gas, and Helium; and (3) Uranium. A unified bibliography, involving each of these commodities, is presented at the end of the report. Numerous tables and illustrations which concisely summarize significant data are included within each section, in the appendix, and as plates in the pocket at the back. 289 p.

This bulletin presents a comprehensive listing of the literature on the geology and mineral resources of Arizona released through December, 1964. In compiling the list, the authors have used freely the several bibliographies of North American geology, issued as bulletins by the U.S. Geological Survey, and Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletins 146 and 161, two previously realeased bibliographies, which are now out of print. In addition, many serials and irregularly issued publications have been examined and applicable articles noted. In departure from the procedure frequently followed in the preparation of bibliographies, the authors have not restricted the listing to published items. Thus, many theses and open-file reports have been included because, even though they may not be readily available, often they represent the only source of data on a particular area or problem. 321 p.

Supplementing Arizona Bureau of Mines Bulletin No. 146, which was published in 1939, this bulletin presents a list and index of literature pertaining to the geology and mineral resources of Arizona from June, 1939, through 1952. Most of its citations for the years 1939-1950 were compiled from the bibliographies of North American geology published as Bulletins 937, 938, 949, 952, 958, 968, 977, 985 of the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition, numerous serials have been examined. Although this bibliography is intended to cover the literature, regardless of the merits of the various articles, many references have doubtless been overlooked. It is hoped that omissions will be brought to the attention of the Arizona Bureau of Mines. 62 p.

This bulletin presents a list and index of the literature pertaining to the geology and mineral resources of Arizona. Most of its citations for the years prior to 1937 were compiled from the bibliographies of North American geology published as Bulletins 127, 746, 747, 823, 834, 858, 869, and 892 of the U.S. Geological Survey. In addition, numerous serials have been examined. Important data were obtained from Olaf P. Jenkins and the late F. L. Ransome. Robert E. Heineman listed the University of Arizona theses. Although this bibliography is intended to cover all of the literature, regardless of the merits of the various articles, many references have doubtless been overlooked. It is hoped that omissions will be brought to the attention of the Bureau. 164 p.

Bibliography of Arizona Mining, Metallurgy, and Geology. Citations are cataloged by mining district or county. 49 p.

Since 1977 considerable work has been accomplished in order to locate, understand and evaluate geothermal resources in the State of Arizona. Much of this work has been performed by Geothermal Project geologists of the State of Arizona Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology. Additional reports addressing problems associated with geothermal development were produced by the Arizona Geothermal Commercialization Team of the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Arizona. This bibliography references all reports and maps generated by these two groups. In addition, to provide a more comprehensive listing of geothermal energy in Arizona, all available "geothermal" papers from other sources have been included, most of them written in the last few decades. Older reports dating back to 1867, on thermal waters and mineral springs of Arizona and the southwest U.S., also have been listed.

This report provides references for geophysical data in the San Carlos-Safford-Duncan Nonpoint-Source Management Zone (Figure 1). Types of studies and geophysical data include magnetic, resistivity, gravity, remote sensing, radioactivity, and heat flow data derived from airplanes, satellites, field studies, and laboratory measurements.
