Item 1906-1911 The Aborigines of Minnesota, A Report based on the collections of Jacob V. Brower, and on the Field Surveys and Notes of Alfred J. Hill and Theodore H. Lewis(Minnesota Historical Society, 1911) Winchell, N.H.; Brower, Jacob V.; Hill, Alfred J.; Lewis, Theodore H.Archeological studies and descriptions of Native Americans in Minnesota, early 20th century. Collated, Augmented and Described by N.H. WinchellItem Bulletin No. 1. The History of Geological Surveys in Minnesota(Minnesota Geological Survey, 1889) Winchell, N.H.Describes the enabling legislation and early attempts and problems establishing a geological survey in MinnesotaItem Bulletin No. 5. Natural Gas in Minnesota(Minnesota Geological Survey, 1889) Winchell, N.H.The great discoveries of gas in Pennsylvania and more recently in Ohio and Indiana, and in other places in the United States, have had their natural effect in Minnesota. They have caused a feverish and sometimes an expressed feeling of unrest, and of curiosity to know what would be the result in case a careful probing of the earth's crust were undertaken. They have caused a re·examination of old records, and a restatement of all the nearly forgotten incidents which occurred years ago which could be interpreted as indications of natural gas at numerous places in the state. They have sharpened the observation of all well-drillers and others who in any way could be considered to be in situations such as might reveal evidences of escaping gas. The human eyesight, the sense of smell, the love of lucre, the knowledge of geology, the ignorance of all geologists, have received a sudden and very general popular increment. These have had their influence on our Legislature. This is all very natural and not at all blameworthy. The demand for public expenditure in search for the hidden resources of the state, when the commonwealth in general is interested in the enterprise, is a demand that should be heeded by legislators. It is one of the distinguishing marks of American civilization that the people are willing to tax themselves for the promotion of public improvements and for scientific research. The people in general are more intimately acquainted with as well as more profoundly interested in the prosecution of scientific research, and the economic results of such research, than in other civilized countries.Item Bulletin No. 6. Iron Ores of Minnesota(Minnesota Geological Survey, 1891) Winchell, N.H.; Winchell, H.V.We have attempted to give, in this bulletin, such information concerning the iron ores of Minnesota as might be wanted by the explorer, the miner, the geologist and the citizen of the state. There has been a great demand recently for such a discussion of the iron ores of the Northwest. As the discovery of new mining grounds has, year after year, extended the interest in iron mining among a greater number of individuals and corporations who naturally look to the official survey for information and guidance, so have the number and complexity of the problems involved increased. We have not essayed the settlement of all the scientific questions that have arisen through this extension of the field of observation. We have simply collected the new facts as we have learned them and have made an initial effort to group all of them, both old and new, under a classification intended to make them indicate some general principles. Our results are not wholly in accord with those of some of our predecessors-as theirs were not with theirs. We would have been glad to have taken more time for further field and laboratory work. It is evident, however, that we should never reach perfection. It was equally evident that justice to a large and expectant constituency required the preparation of a report on the iron ores, however far it might fall short of rendering justice to the subject. It is only through successive partial studies, and the publication of the incompleted results that some additions are made to our knowledge of the geology of the ores of iron. Our contribution to that fund of knowledge will go with others, both earlier and later, to enable some fortunate future geologist to prepare an exposition that will be both thorough and complete. We shall be satisfied if we may be able to add a small quantum to that end.Item Circular 5.
