    Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This Blue Goose, Designed by J.N

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 69 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffi ng increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition.

The general usage of the term is to include as pseudomorphs both petrifactions and molds, and also: (1) Any mineral change in which the outlines of the original mineral are preserved, whether this surface be a euhedral crystal form or the irregular bounding surface of an embedded grain or of an aggregate. (2) Any mineral change which has been accomplished without change of volume, as evidenced by the undistorted preservation of an original texture or structure, whether this be the equal volume replacement of a single crystal or of a rock mass on a geologic scale.

    THE AMERICAN MINERALOGIST, VOL 51, SEPTEMBER_OCTOBER, 1966 ZINCIAN AEGIRINE-AUGITE AND JEFFERSONITE FROM FRANKLIN, NEW JERSEY Cr.rrnonoFnoNnBr eNn Jux ho, Departmentof Geolog,icalSciences, H arsaril [] niaer sity Cambrid. ge, M as s a chu s e tt s.r Agsrnect A coarsely crystallized dark colored monoclinic pyroxene found abundantly in skarn zones at Franklin and Sterling Hill, New Jersey, has long been known under the name jefiersonite. It has been classed as a diopsidic pyroxene, but four new chemical analyses (with accompanying r-ray and optical data) establish that it comprises highly zincian and manganoan members of a series from aegirine-augite to sodian and ferrian augite. Both Mn2+ and Zn are much in excess of Fe2f, with almost 40 atomic per cent Mn in the B position in one analysis. As Fea+and Na decrease the color changes from reddish brown and mahogany brown to dark olive green and greenish black. The original jefiersonite of Vanuxem and Keating (1822) probably referred to the latter material; the name lacks species or varietal significance and may be set aside. INtnooucuoN Three different types of pyroxene have been found in the so-called skarn zones in the orebodiesat Franklin and Sterling Hill, New Jersey. The most common type is a manganoan and sometimes also zincian variety of diopside. It generally contains NInO in the range from 4 to 10 weight per cent (Table 1, anal. 1 to 5). If little or Lo Zn is present,this material has been called schefierite,following the varietal name originally proposedby Michaelson(1863) for manganoandiopside of similar com- position from Langban, Sweden.

Smitheringale was commissioned to re­ examine the deposits and complete the work initiated by Dr. Uglow. The other manganese deposits of Canada have not been examined in such a systematic way, but most of them have been visited by officers of the Geological Survey.

    First Annual Mineralogy Exhibit of the Franklin Kiwanis Club

    FIRST ANNUAL MINERALCGY EXHIBIT CF THE FRANKLIN KIWANIS CLUB - October 26th & 27th, 1957 This exhibit makes available for public view for the first time many of the principal private collections of the unique minerals of the Franklin-Sterling Area. These unusual ore bodies, comprising more minerals than are found anywhere else on earth, have intrigued mineralogists and collectors ever since their discovery. Dutch mining experts first explored the area in 1640. The ore bodies, whose principal metals are zinc, manganese and iron, continued to puzzle experts for the next two centuries. Mining operations were first successfully developed by The New Jersey Zinc Company, which succeeded in building a great industry from its beginnings at Franklin. The deposits at Franklin are now exhausted and its specimens have become collectors items. The 178 minerals found at Franklin-Sterling and the 29 minerals which have never been found elsewhere are listed below.
