In a railway cut near Furnace there is a
fine exposure of the Kittatiny [illegible] down into the
Hardsetm. The lower portion is a series of interbedded
quartzites with dolomites and some black shales. It
is clearly a transition series so that some of the
Kittating must be Lower Cambrian. How much is
unknown.
Visited Lime Products Corporation where the
white Precambrian limestone (= Franklin) is ground
up for farm fertilizer. The lining made short things
by permatite. See the samples.
Then to Franklin Furnace where we first
went through the mills and strolled a number of
mineral samples. Then to the open cuts to see
the ore bodies about 17 feet across.
Then looked at the Mount Hope iron
mine (magnetite) in Precambrian. This is about
5 miles from Norrie where are stuffed our night,
at the Manoir Hotel.
