Subsurface Study of Lower Tuscaloosa Formation at Olive Field, Pike and Amite Counties, Mississippi: ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Olive Field is located on the Amite-Pike County line in southwestern Mississippi. The field was discovered by Shell Western Exploration and Production Inc., and produces from a sandstone within the Lower Tuscaloosa Stringer Member; the trap is stratigraphic. The Stringer Member consists of alternating sandstones, siltstones, and shales, which have an average thickness of 230 ft (76 m) at Olive Field. The Stringer Member is a transgressive sequence deposited on eroded Washita-Fredericksburg sediments and is overlain by Middle Tuscaloosa marine shales. The coarse-to fine-grained sandstones are quartz-rich with a high percentage of sedimentary rock fragments. The majority of sandstones are shale arenites. However, a large number of rock fragments were badly altered; these fragments could not be identified with confidence; many may be of volcanic origin. The sandstones are cemented by quartz overgrowths, Fe-rich carbonate cement, and chlorite. Sandstones commonly have a high preserved interparticle porosity that is characteristic of Lower Tuscaloosa sandstones. This interparticle porosity is attributed to chlorite, which occurs as an isopachous cement that coats grains and reduced nucleation sites for quartz overgrowths. The Stringer Member was subdivided into five zones in this study based on lithology and electric log responses. The lower three zones were deposited in a fluvial environment. The sandstones were deposited as point bars and channel sands in a meandering system. Siltstones and shales represent overbank, flood basin, and channel fill deposits. The upper two zones consist of sediments deposited at or near sea level. Finely laminated shales and siltstones represent marsh and bay deposits. The topmost zone is a thin continuous sand body that represents a remnant beach deposited before major marine transgression.

Preliminary Data Recovery and Mitigation Plan Archaeological Site 41MX5 Morris County US 259: From 2.4 Miles North of FM 44 to 0.5 Miles South of IH 30

In the late 1960s, the Texas Highway Department, now known as the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, (SDHPT) initiated a plan to reconstruct a portion of US 259 in Morris County, Between FM 144, north of Omaha, Texas, and the Bowie County Line. Reconstruction of this highway section would complete modernization of US 259 and provide a major connection with Interstate 30. The existing highway was to be reconstructed to modern design standards with improvements to vertical alignment and pavement structure. A modern two-lane roadway with 8 ft. surfaced shoulders and a 4 ft. flush median is to be provided. In March of 1971 a Negative Environmental Declaration for the project was approved and a Notice of Opportunity for Public Hearing was distributed and published. A Public Hearing was held on September 16, 1971. All work on the project was suspended in 1975 due to cash flow problems affecting the SDHPT and the project was not included in the Twenty Year plan. The project was re-activated in 1986 and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project authorization process was completed in 1987. The project was processed as a categorical exclusion, an action consistant with the status of the undertaking as a reconstruction job. In the 1960s, when the project was initiated, there was no provision for on-site cultural resource surveys on projects of this type. It has been determined that an on-site cultural resources survey of the project area was not performed and coordination with the State Historic Preservation Officer, not required at the time of the Negative Environmental Declaration, had not been initiated. The project was let to contract in May of 1987.

The effects for recall patients of a comprehensive sealant program in a clinical dental public health setting.

The preventive outcomes of a comprehensive sealant program in a dental public health treatment center for low SES children are reported. The Linn County (Iowa) Dental Health Center implemented a comprehensive sealant philosophy in 1978. Since then, virtually all pits and fissures in primary and permanent teeth for all new and recall patients have been sealed. The comprehensive sealant philosophy was formulated following a previously reported Dental Health Center study documenting the negative outcomes of unmet treatment need as a result of the lack of continuity of care for this specific low SES target population. Sealants were evaluated for all recall patients seen over a two-month period. The sealants had been placed six months to six years before the two-month examination period. Ninety-five percent of the sealants were intact for the recall patients. Only 3.3 percent of the sealants were in need of repair or resealing--a procedure easily incorporated into the preventive recall appointment. Only 1.5 percent of the teeth were carious, and to a minor extent. To maintain the total sealant treatment philosophy on repaired and newly erupted teeth for recall patients in the dental public health setting requires on the average approximately five additional minutes per recall appointment. Low SES children are at highest risk to dental caries, but are still not guaranteed access to ongoing preventive services. Sealants are of much greater importance than the usual prophylaxis-fluoride regimen for low SES children displaying more episodic than preventive dental behavior. Comprehensive sealant programs should be considered for all dental public health clinical treatment programs for children.

Development of Scales to Assess Homeownership Consumption and Investment Attitudes

A method to measure homeowners' housing consumption and investment atti tudes was developed. Dimensions in the consumption scale were space, tenure, structure, quality, and neighborhood. The investment scale included tax ben efits, equity, rate of return, leverage, and risk. Personal variables (income, social status, homeownership experience, investment experience, and parents' invest ment experience) were hypothesized to have an effect on overall consumption and investment attitudes. Thirty‐five Likert‐ranked statements were used for each scale. The data were collected by mail survey from 222 homeowners in Linn County, Oregon. Reliability was determined by item‐analysis and Cronbach alpha (Consumption Attitude Scale = 0.71273, Investment Attitude Scale = 0.68323). A positive linear correlation between the two attitude scale mean scores (r= 0.2846, p= 0.001) was found, but the two attitude scales related differently to the personal variables. No significant (p < 0.05) differences in the Homeown ership Consumption Attitude Scale mean scores were explained by the personal variables, while all personal variables except homeownership experience were positively related to Homeownership Investment Attitude Scale mean scores (p < 0.05). In addition, since only seven of the 25 possible dimension pairs between the two scales were positively correlated (p < 0.05), while eight and nine out of ten possible pairs within the investment and consumption scales, respectively, were correlated, the independence of these two attitudes may be theorized. Fur ther work could refine the attitude scale statements and extend the analysis to behavioral intentions, using a wider array of external variables.

He sat back down openmouthed, stunned, knees all weak and watery. "You all right, boy?" asked Harper. "Let me take a look at your head." "No." Vernon tugged his cap down tighter and fought to stop the spinning and flashing. He felt a seeping warmth from the cut, gritted his teeth and reached for another stick of stripped tobacco. "It ain't nothing," Vernon mumbled. "I ain't hurt." He shoved the tobacco to Harper. "He hit hisself on the head, Harper," chuckled Manual Cox. "Can't hurt a Watts, hitting him on the head. Let's get this stuff loaded up and hit the road." Working in the dim yellow light of a single bare bulb, Vernon and Harper loaded the sticks of tobacco onto Manual's truck and 18 covered it with a stiff dirty tarpaulin. Vernon ducked under the truck to snug the ropes and had to grab onto the wheels when the dizziness struck. "You sure you're okay?" Harper asked softly. Vernon nodded and licked his lips. "Just some dizzy is all," he said. Vernon crawled out and stood, almost six feet tall now, and rubbed his eyes. "It's from getting up so early ." "Boy's got growing pains," laughed Manual. "He growed a foot in the last year. Bumps into lights, trips over the doorsteps, can't even hold onto a glass of milk. Vernon's gonna be a big man, Harper. But just yet he ain't got used to standing six feet tall." Harper smiled. "I guess you're right about that." Vernon tugged his baseball cap down tighter. "Go set in the truck," said Harper. Dawn was breaking as the truckload of tobacco rumbled down the rutted roadway. Manual fumbled with the heater controls and light switches, flipped on the radio, cut a fresh chew, and eased slowly out onto the paved highway. The old GMC roared, backfired as Manual double-clutched and shifted, then picked up speed. After he had worked up to high gear Manual rolled down the window to spit, lowered the volume on the radio, and grinned at Vernon. "First time to the tobaccer market?" he asked. Vernon nodded. "I never even been to Maysville before," he said softly. The throb in his head was easing off some. "Momma let me miss school to go." "Elsie ain't no fool," grinned Manual. "She knows a pimplefaced boy has got to get him a look at the big city." "Some big city," chuckled Harper. "Maysville ain't nothing but tobacco warehouses and beer joints." "It ain't Paris, France," Manual agreed with a chuckle. "But it sure beats Finchburg." He slowed the truck and listened to the popping exhaust as they rolled down the long hill into the county seat. "Finchburg, Kentucky," intoned Manual. "The friendly town that hospitality built." He chuckled. "They do got a right friendly jailor, at that. Last time they locked me up old Willard went and got my jug out of the truck and me and him set in the cell and drunk it ever bit. When they let me out I had to sleep it off before I could drive home." He braked the truck to a stop at the signal, and pointed. "Jail's right up yonder." "You don't stop roaring that muffler," warned Harper, "that's where we'll all be." Manual eased the truck away from the light and upshifted gently. "Your daddy tries to act like he ain't never raised no hell, Vernon, but don't you believe one word of it. Harper used to be the drinkingest, fightingest little feller on Mauck Ridge 'til Elsie got aholt of him and tamed him down." "Shut up, Manual," Harper said with a grin. "The boy don't need no encouragement ." They crossed the county line and threaded through a row of dismal roadhouses, bleak in the foggy morning. "Now, a man can get hisself killed in this burg," said Manual. He downshifted for the hill...

Update on the Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis) in Kansas

Prior to 1965, south central Nebraska marked the southern limits of the range of the least weasel (Mustela nivalis campestris Jackson). A reported identification of an individual in Marshall County, Kansas, and subsequent southward extension of the range has since been noted. A westward extension was recorded recently and evidence of yet deeper M. nivalis penetration south into the state is presented. The least weasel (Mustela nivalis campestris Jackson) has been considered an inhabitant of more northerly environments. Until the mid-1960's the southernmost limits of its range lay along the Nebraska-Kansas border (Hall, 1981). No record existed of the occurrence of the species in Kansas until 1965 when a least weasel was identified in Marshall County by Jones and Cortner (1965). The range of M. nivalis has been redefined, subsequent southward extension of its range having been noted by Anderson (1971), Swan (1977), Choate et al. (1979), Bee et al. (1981), Bailey (1983, 1985), and others; and westward by Tolliver and Wilhelm (1985). Marion County marked the southernmost extension of the range in Kansas in 1979 (Fig. 1), when a specimen was found approximately 5 miles northwest of the city of Marion near Marion Reservoir (Choate et al., 1979). Additional evidence of the species' occurrence in Marion County, possibly signifying a deeper extension of its range, was provided in March 1982, when one of the authors (Terman) captured an adult male 5.5 miles south of Hillsboro, approximately 10 miles south and west of Marion Reservoir. Two additional specimens, both dead, were taken in June 1982, the first, 3.5 miles west of Hillsboro, and the second in the town of Ramona, 0.5 mile south of the Dickinson County line within the Smokey Hill-Kansas River watershed. An earlier, unconfirmed report placed another sighting at Peabody, near the south county line (D. L. Spencer, pers. comm.). The least weasel appears to be firmly entrenched in Marion County (Fig. 2). During January 1983, two males and a female were taken in small game traps near Tampa in Blaine Township, and in February of that year a female was captured alive in the Tampa grain elevator.

Minstrel of the Appalachians: The Story of Bascom Lamar Lunsford (review)

Book Reviews UkJM WWW™ Jones, Loyal. Minstrel of the Appalachians: The Story of Bascom Lamar Lunsford. Boone, North Carolina: Appalachian Consortium Press, 1984. Born in North Carolina's Madison County in 1882, Bascom Lamar Lunsford died in 1973 in neighboring Buncombe County. It took Îim nine decades to complete life's journey across a county line—meanwhile, traveling to concert platforms at the Pacific's rim; to recording labs at Columbia University and the Library of Congress; to a performance, in 1949, at the Cecil Sharp House, London. Sharp had collected English folksongs in the Southern Highlands during 1916-1918. Bascom, banjo in hand, returned some of the great collector's findings to their native soil. In a sense, Lunsford defined his long purpose as that of returning gifts to mountain people and strengthening their resolve to extend these same gifts beyond local communities. Within learned or literary journals, we often blur the distinction between book review and personal essay. In my comments on Loyal Jones' biography of Lunsford, I open by noting that the author and I have been friends for nearly three decades. Further, I had read this book in its several manuscript drafts. Hence, I cannot claim full objectivity in my review. I like the biography; I am partial to Bascom's role; I anticipate that this book will serve as a building block for young Appalachians as they continue to construct notions of identity. The word "minstrel" sounds an antique knell, deriving from tested usages: Latin terms for public officials, medieval descriptions of wandering troubadours, nineteenth-century names for black-face comics skilled in reversal and inversion. Long -ago, someone tagged Bascom the "Minstrel of the Appalachians." He glowed in its color and wore the phrase as a proud cloak, as he did the tongue-in-cheek honorific "Squire of South Turkey Creek." Literally, Bascom as a child learned old songs at his mother's knee. At about the age of ten, beginning an informal apprenticeship in minstrelsy, he entertained at school and puzzled over a magic-lantern show's mystery. During 1914, Lunsford posed grandly in white tie and black swallowtail coat while lecturing to collegians on "North Carolina Folklore, Poetry and Song." During 1928, he added a folksong and folk dance component to Asheville's Rhododendron Festival. In time, the Chamber-of-Commerce hoopla withered as the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival continued to bloom. Indeed, Lunsford's guiding notions of festival structure, to this day, have influenced strategies at thousands of local and national "folk" events. I shall not recapitulate Lunsford's pilgrimage in this compass; rather, I shall attempt to assay his journey's meaning. In the immediate months after his death, Bascom's children desired a laudatory memorial. Loyal Jones, himself a Blue Ridge native, had known him since 1956, and had written an article on Bascom, raising issues of Appalachian consciousness. From 1970 to 1983, Jones worked on the book considered here. As the decade since Lunsford's death has slipped away, the need for an official biography has receded. Those of us removed from Bascom's corner of the mountains, as well as from the minutiae of his daily life, can address questions of his place in the larger society: What did he add to understanding about regionalism? Is his special vision of folk tradition still useful? Will he be remembered as the American scroll of expressive culture continues to unroll? 66 In formal employment, Lunsford took many trails: beekeeper, fruit-tree salesman, newspaper publisher, teacher, lawyer, legislative clerk, promoter. In all these guises, one linked "calling" dominated: ballad collector /folksong performer/folklore partisan. Bascom knew that the rubric "American folksong" encompassed black spirituals, cajun fiddle tunes, cowboy laments, Mexican border corridos, and Polish polkas, for he had been exposed to such diversity at a series of national festivals. Regardless, he defined American folksong as essentially Appalachian. Within these mountains he favored the Blue Ridge chain; within this latter configuration he cherished his own community 's traditions. Not only did Lunsford focus narrowly (perhaps compulsively) on one strand within the national tapestry, but he cleaved to a particular view of proper presentational modes for his favorite music and narratives. Bascom worked...

Aledo Southeast 1,200-Ft Strawn Gas Field and Associated Deeper Production, Southeast Parker and Southwest Tarrant Counties, Texas: ABSTRACT

Most of the gas production in this region comes from earlier shallow zones ( The Aledo Southeast 1,200-ft Strawn field is one of the most profitable gas fields in the area. The marked linearity of this field demonstrates that the productive sand body is of fluvial origin. Its general east-west orientation indicates a fluvial system that flowed westward from the Ouachita highlands, and its flared shape on the western end suggests shoreline redistribution of the sands. Study of core and cuttings clearly reveals fluvial features, such as mud clasts, ripple laminations, wood fragments, and slump structures. Detailed mineralogic analyses by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy indicate the shallow and deep reservoirs are feldspathic sandstones that are variously limy or dolomitic and contain major amounts of kaolinite and lesser amounts of illite, chlorite, and mixed layer clays. Isopach maps combined with structure contour maps show the field is a trap formed where an east-west channel sand is tilted downward on the north side intercepting a gas-water contact. The south (updip) margin is a sand pinch-out. A marked sag, caused by differential subsidence, intercepts the gas-water contact and interrupts continuous production along the channel beneath the Parker-Tarrant county line.

Vegetation and Land Cover Change in the Willamette River Greenway in Benton and Linn Counties, Oregon: 1972-1981

Change in vegetation and land cover was determined from a time sequence of aerial photographs. Riparian vegetation and land cover in the legislatively defined Willamette River Greenway was classified as: Coniferous Forest, Tall Deciduous Forest, Low Deciduous Forest, Narrowleaf Shrub, Broadleaf Shrub, Grassland, Sand/Gravel Bar, Agriculture, Development, and Water. These types were mapped at 1:12,000 on a set of 29 sheets based on 1976 natural color imagery. A second set of 29 vegetation and land cover change maps was drawn based on interpretation and analysis of 1972 and 1981 aerial photographs using five mapping categories: aggregated vegetation cover; agriculture; development (including sand and gravel operations); cobble, silt, and sand bar; and water. Total Greenway area studied encompassed 12,813 acres (5,185 hectares). A total of 726 acres (294 hectares) of aggregated riparian vegetation was converted to agriculture and development from 1972 to 1981. The legislatively mandated Willamette River Greenway program may not be an effective approach to protecting riparian zone resources.

Bison Basin, Central Wyoming--Geologic Overview: ABSTRACT

The northeastern part of the Great Divide basin is a separate, unique, and until recently, little-explored subbasin sometimes called the Bison basin. It is bounded by the Wind River Mountains, Sweetwater-Granite Mountain foreland uplift, Lost Soldier-Wertz structure, and a little-studied very positive east-west structural arch approximately coincident with the Sweetwater-Fremont county line. A comprehensive seismic, Landsat, and subsurface geologic examination or, better, dissection of the Bison basin was initiated in 1978. Numerous oil and gas prospects were delineated by this study. Since this small, 12 by 40 mi (19 by 64 km) basin is bordered by known reserves of 260 million bbl of oil and 90 million bcf of gas, these prospects proved to be a popular target of the drill bit. At least one of these prospects appears to be productive; others are currently being drilled. The presence of major east-west wrench faults, a well-documented foreland uplift, until recently undrilled surface and subsurface structures, faults with throw measured in tens of thousands of feet, and an oil seep indicate possible additional hydrocarbon potential in the Bison basin that could exceed presently known reserves. Currently drilling wells and abundant already acquired reflection seismic data are the beginning step in an ongoing exploration program of an interesting, complex, and rewarding small basin with a lot of promise.

Linn County Dental Health Center--a successful dental public health access program of treatment and prevention.

The Linn County Dental Health Center is an example of what appears to be a highly successful dental society access program. A target population, the children of the poor and working poor in Linn County, have an opportunity to enter a system of continuous dental care for the prevention and control of dental disease. This example of dental society and community involvement, in the form of the ADA's guidelines for establishment and management of such access programs, may provide an impetus for action by other concerned individuals and dental societies.

Distribution and Productivity of Nesting Bald Eagles in Oregon, 1978-1982

Although little has been published on breeding Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in Oregon, various authors have commented on their distribution and abundance. Woodcock (1902) listed the Bald Eagle as common along the Columbia River, at Klamath Lake, and near Haines in Baker County; not common around Beaverton in Washington County and Elkton in Douglas County; and rare in Tillamook County and near Scio in Linn County. Gabrielson and Jewett (1940) listed the Bald Eagle as an uncommon resident along larger waterways and the high Cascade lakes and more common along the coast. Elzroth and Ramsey (1979) categorized the species as an uncommon, permanent resident along the coast, on lakes, and along rivers throughout the state. The present paper summarizes five years of observation of breeding Bald Eagles in Oregon. Objectives of the study were to determine the number and distribution of breeding pairs, describe breeding chronology, and determine activity and productivity at nest sites.

Oil and Gas Developments in West Coast Area in 1981

The total exploratory footage and number of wells drilled in the onshore area of California during 1981 increased approximately 10% and 20%, respectively, over the 1980 figures. Both the average footage drilled per well (5,579 ft) and the percentage of success (32.7%) showed declines from 1980. Eight wildcats established new fields in 1981. Two of the wildcats discovered new oil fields and 6 found new gas fields. An additional gas find has been treated as a discovery because of its stratigraphic significance. Onshore development drilling included 2,078 wells; 97% of these were completed as successful producers, the same percentage as in 1980. For the California offshore, just 5 exploratory well completions were reported to the Committee on Statistics of Drilling in 1981; only 2 were successful. Texaco announced its Pitas Point gas field extension in May, and Chevron announced a new oil field discovery, the Point Arguello, in October. There were 118 development wells drilled, of which 99 (83.9%) were successful. Development footage and number of wells were up, but the percentage of success declined from 90% in 1980. California's oil production reached an all-time high of 384.8 million bbl in 1981. The state's previous record, set in 1968, was 375.4 million bbl. Geothermal activity in California centered on development of the proven Imperial Valley and Geysers areas and the discovery of the Coso area in Inyo County. Activity in Oregon included evaluation of the Mount Hood and Newberry Volcano areas. Oil and gas exploratory drilling in Oregon during 1981 led to the discovery of a new gas field by American Quasar in Linn County and to the establishment of a new gas pool by Reichhold Energy at the Mist field in Columbia County. The major portion of Washington's exploratory drilling in 1981 was carried out by Shell in Kittitas County in the south-central part of the state. At last report, the hydrocarbon accumulations found had been deemed noncommercial.

Microgeographic Variation in the Song of the Sage Sparrow

-The Sage Sparrow breeds in large expanses of continuous sagebrush in southern Idaho. Analyses of the song syllables and shared syllable sequences of 40 males from five main study sites in Idaho revealed that individuals tended to be most similar to birds from the same population. Each male had one stereotyped song with only minor variations consisting of the omission of a few syllables from the end of the song. Three males apparently had the same song and same or nearly the same territory for three or four years. The most geographically distant population from the other four populations had the most distinct songs. However, neighbors on adjacent territories were not usually most similar to each other. Several syllables were widespread among males while uncommon syllables were often shared among males within a population. Stepwise discriminant analysis of ten variables from the same populations revealed that mean syllable duration and mean interval between syllables contained enough information to successfully assign 62.5% of the songs to the population to which they belonged. Six of an additional 10 songs recorded at five other sites in southern Idaho were classified into the main population geographically closest. Geographic variation in song and dialects have been described in sedentary avian populations (Lemon 1966, 1975, Kroodsma 1974, Baptista 1975, Bradley 1977, Payne 1978, Bowman 1979) and in migratory populations (Harris and Lemon 1972, Baker 1975, Orejuela and Morton 1975, Baptista 1977). Our understanding of dialects depends partly on recognizing the difference between true dialects and geographic variation in song. Differences in the songs of populations of sedentary species are readily explained in terms of the evolution of isolated populations (Bradley 1977, Bowman 1979) or in special social organizations (Jenkins 1977, Payne 1978). In migratory species where there is a greater opportunity for individuals to disperse among populations between breeding seasons and, thus, for population differences to be reduced, classical isolating mechanisms may also be important. Chief among the latter are geographical distance (Wright 1943) and variation in habitat (Nottebohm 1969, 1975, King 1972, Baptista 1977). To determine the nature of song variation in the absence of obvious isolating mechanisms it is necessary to examine populations of a migratory species separated by small distances in continuous homogeneous habitat. In this way geographic variation on the smallest scale might be described. In this report I describe differences in the songs of populations of the Sage Sparrow (Amphispiza belli). This species is migratory and occupies large expanses of continuous homogeneous sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) habitat in southern Idaho. I recorded songs in populations separated by relatively less geographical distance than is customarily done in studies of this type. Even under these conditions where song variation seemed least likely to occur there were substantial differences in several song parameters among populations. I conclude that geographic variation in song among populations, most likely as a result of philopatry, occurs on a fine geographic scale in the Sage Sparrow. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 1976 and 1977 I recorded the songs and studied the behavior of four unmarked neighboring territorial males from March to July in Bingham Co., Idaho (Fig. 1, site SA). In May and June of 1978 I recorded 36 males at several localities in southern Idaho and in 1979 I recorded an additional 14 males. Forty males were recorded at five main sites (Fig. 1): SA, main study area; VC, a prominent volcanic cone; BB, Bingham-Bonneville county line; BT, Kettle Butte; MLF, Medicine Lodge Flats. The remaining 10 males were recorded at scattered locations: GR, C, E, JF and DF. I spent one morning at each site and traversed an area of about 2 km2 while recording songs. Vocalizations were recorded with a Dan Gibson Electronic Parabolic Microphone and an Audiotronics model 147A cassette recorder. Audiospectrograms were prepared on a Voice Identification, Inc. Series 700 sound spectrograph with linear scale and automatic frequency marker. I analyzed geographic variation with both a nonparametric and a parametric approach. For the nonparametric analysis, I defined and catalogued 40 different syllables based on frequency, duration and

Atoka Gas in Southern Cottle and Northern King Counties, Texas: ABSTRACT

The 330-sq-mi (855 sq km) area includes nine gas fields on the flanks of the pre-Pennsylvanian northwest-southeast feature known as the This arch originates on the Masterson Ranch in the extreme western part of the Baylor basin near the Knox and King county line and becomes progressively deeper as it continues to the northwest through the Juniper A and End_Page 1425------------------------------ B, North Juniper, JY, Providence, Prudence, Stescott, and Tippen gas fields, and Prothro (Ramsey structure) and Wilie oil fields where it joins the east-west Matador arch at the structure known as Narcisso on the Cottle and Motley county line. The producing Atoka sandstones or conglomerates consist of medium to coarse, predominately subangular, quartz grains with traces of glauconite. These stratigraphic traps were deposited as offshore sand bars on the northeast and southwest flanks of the Masterson arch. The Atoka conglomerates are erratic, as they were deposited on a steeply dipping erosional surface, with rapidly changing dips. The entire Atoka section between the base of the Caddo Limestone and the top of the Mississippian limestone consists of very hard, dark-gray to black calcareous shale and conglomerate beds. The Atoka shale is very thin on the structural axis, with no conglomerate deposition, but thickens basinward with the development of many different conglomerate lenses. The Providence Atoka gas field in extreme southeast Cottle County was discovered in October 1973, with the successful completion for 10,200 Mcf/day of the Gus Edwards 1 J. J. Gibson. Development to date reveals more than 141 ft (43 m) of gas column with no indication of water, which is present at different subsea depths in other gas fields on this trend. Average absolute open flow for the 14 gas wells in the Providence Atoka field is 11,600 Mcf/day. The porosity ranges from 15 to 21% with average pay thickness of 18 ft (5.5 m).

a county, the vast majority of them housing adjustments. A little over half of the movers who cross a county line do not change their state of residence. Between 1975 and 1976, 3 percent of the U.S. population (over 6 million persons) changed the state of their residence.
