FOURTH ANNUAL MINERALOGY EXHIBIT OF THE KIWANTS CLUB Sept, 24 & 25, 1960 di„s'-)lays to the mineral nollecting public a great variety of secimens from the acted Franklin and Sterling Lill mines. Although the Franklin mine is worked out and flooded and the Sterling Hill mine is currently shut down, specimens new to the list of Franklin area minerals are being discovered at a rate never achieved in the past fifty years. Since the first Kiwanis exhibit in 1957, an upsurge of interest has resulted- in the addition of well over a dozen minerals te the list. Many specimens have been made available through sale, and the Buckwheat and Parker dumps continue to reward careful examination on the part of the collector. The visitors should not fail to see the displays at the National Guard Armory at the junction of Route 23 and 577 at the foot of the mountain, where the main mineral exhibit will be housed, the model mine opposite the open cut on Evans Street above the Buckwheat dump, and the Buckwheat Dump itself where the knowledgeable collector can find twenty different minerals in less than an hour.
