INTRODUCTION.
New Jersey is one of the original thirteen States of the Union.
It lies almost central on the eastern border of the United States.
Being easy of access from the ocean, enjoying a mild climate,
and having a fertile soil, its natural advantages were appreciated
and improved at an early day. Farming was the first business
of its people, but the manufacture of iron was begun as early as
I682; mining on an extensive scale was carried on for many
years before the revolution, and a direct trade with the'West
Indies and with Europe was established at several places.
The area of the State is 7,5 76 square miles, and its population
in i870 was go6,o96.  It is the thirty-third State in size, and
the seventeenth in population, while in wealth it is the eighth;
in value of manufactured products it is the seventh; in value of
mining products the eleventh; and in the products of agriculture
the twentieth.
The development of its natural resources has long received
the attention of its authorities.  A geological survey of the
State was made by the late Prof. Henry D. Rodgers, in I836-7.
A more elaborate survey was begun by the late Dr. Win.
Kitchell, in I854, and was continued through the years i855-6,
when it was suspended; but was resumed under its present
organization in I864, and has been continued in operation from
that time onward.  The economical applications of a scientific
survey have been kept prominently in view in the whole course
of the work, and the results have justified the wisdom of this
course.




4                  IN TR OD UCTION.
The value of farm lands has increased from year to year, and
the price per acre is greater than in any other State in the
Union. The amount of farm and garden products is adequate
to the supply of the whole population.
The yield of the iron mines has had a steady increase for
many years past, and in I873 no less than 665,65 2 tons of iron
ore were mined. The depression in the business of the country
has lessened. the demand for ore, but about 400,000 tons have
been mined the past year. The rich mines of zinc continue to
yield an abundant supply of ore of the finest quality.  I7,500
tons were mined in 1873, and not far from Io,ooo tons in I875.
The clay for fire-bricks, pottery, and other uses, is worked to
the great advantage of our manufacturers, and the demand for
it is very large. The aggregate annual value of this product, in
its raw state, is estimated at $I,ooo,ooo, and the manufactured
articles from it at an equal sum additional.  The green-sand
marl dug for use on the farm lands amounts annually to from
I50,00o to 200,000 tons, and the lime burned for agricultural
use cannot be ascertained accurately, but it is several hundred
thousand bushels.
The construction of railways, roads and canals, so as to supply
cheap and expeditious communication between the great markets
of the country and the districts of agricultural, manufacturing
and mining production, has fully kept pace with the other
developments of industrial progress.  There are in the State
over I200 miles of railway, a considerable portion of which is
double track, and some of it has three and even four lines of
tracks. This gives at least a mile of railway for every five
square miles of territory, brings a line of railway within a
distance of five or six miles of almost every dwelling, and makes
it possible for most of the people to visit New York or Philadelphia, transact business there, and return to their homes on the
same day.




IATR OD UC CTION.                     5
The increase in the wealth of the State is seen in the valuation
of its real estate and personal property, which was, in i850,
$20o,000,000; 86o0, $467,000,000; 1870, $940,976,o64.
The geological structure and formation of a country furnishes
the key to its stores of mineral and agricultural wealth, directs
the course which its roads and railroads must take, shows its
lines of natural drainage, its sources of water supply and water
power, and provides the locations best adapted for the healthful
residences of man.
To ascertain, describe and make known the Geology of New
Jersey, as thus defined, is the object of this Centennial Exhibit
of rocks, ores, minerals, and other natural products, and of the
accompanying geodetic, topographic, geological, mine and
drainage maps.
All the larger geological formations of the United States,
except the coal formation, are found in this State.  They occur
in parallel belts, or zones, usually some miles in breadth, which
traverse the State in a northeast and southwest direction; and
they are so regular in this respect, that a person may travel on a
northeast and southwest road from one side of the State to the
other, and see but a single geological formation. But, on the
contrary, if he should journey from Barnegat, on the Atlantic
coast, northwest to Port Jervis, on the Delaware, he would cross
every formation in the State.
The collection of rocks shown has representative specimens
from  the Azoic, Silurian, Devonian, Triassic, Cretaceous,
Tertiary, Drift, and Recent Formations. A short description of
each of these is inserted at the head of its proper division in the
catalogue.

Azoic FORMATIONS.
[THOSE HIARKED THUS * ARE NOT ON EXHIBITION, OWING TO WANT OF SPACE.]
The Azoic Formations are the Archaic of Dana, and the
Laurentian of Canada; they are the oldest of the geological
series, and are made'up of granitic, gneissic, and other crystalline
rocks, and contain no fossils. They are the material composing
the mountain ranges which extend across the northwestern part
of the State, and are known by the names of Ramapo, Warwick,
Hamburgh, Pochuck, Schooleys, Mine, Musconetcong, Scotts,
and other mountains.  They extend to and beyond the North
River in New York, where they are known as the Highlands,
and in Pennsylvania their extension is known as the South
Mountain. They cover an area of about 772 square miles in
New Jersey, and they contain  all the mines of magnetic
iron ore.

SILURIAN FORMATIONS.
These formations are the lowest and oldest rocks of the
geological series which contain fossils. The rocks are sandstones,
limestones and slates. These formations occupy many of the
valleys between the mountains of Azoic rock and the whole of
a belt of country fifteen or twenty miles wide, northwest of and
adjoining these mountains. A marked feature of this district is
the high, narrow and long ridge which is near its northwestern
border, and which is known in New Jersey as the Blue Mountain,
in New York as the Shawangunk Mountain, and in Pennsylvania
as the Kittatinny Mountain. The divisions of the Silurian are
the Potsdam Sandstone, including the Green Pond Mountain
Conglomerate, which is the oldest; and then, in order, the
Magnesian Limestone, the Trenton Limestone, the Hudson
River Slates, the Oneida Conglomerate, the Medina Sandstone,
and the Lower Helderberg and associated limestones. The rich
farming lands of Sussex and Warren counties are on the Magnesian Limestone, and the grazing and dairying lands are on the
Hudson River Slates.  The area covered by these formations is
about six hundred and fifty square miles.

is characterized by its red color, and its surface is marked by
many abrupt mountain ridges of trap rock.  It occupies the belt
of country next southeast of the Azoic region.  It is about 20
miles wide, and extends entirely across from the Hudson to the
Delaware. Its area is 1,543 square miles.  The rock contains
many beds of excellent free stone, which is extensively quarried.
The soil, though not rich, is generously responsive to good cultivation, and has been specially noted for the excellent quality of
the fruit grown upon it.

CRETACEOUS FORMATIONS.
These formations awe characterized by containing extensive
and valuable beds of fine clay, and of greensand. The belt of
country in which they occur adjoins the Triassic on its northwest border, and extends from the Raritan Bay and the seaside
to the Delaware River near Salem. It is near go miles long and
from 12 to 15 miles wide, and has an area of 1,491 square miles.
The white clays occupy the northwestern side of the belt, and
the greensand marls the southeastern side.
The clays are extensively used for the commoner kinds of
pottery, and fire bricks made from them are among the most
infusible known, and they are more used for refractory materials
than any other in the country.
The marls have been largely used by farmers, and they have
produced most remarkable effects on the soil, restoring fertility
to worn out and abandoned fields, and bringing productiveness
and thrift to the whole district where they can be used.

NOTE.-A strange perversion of the words Kaolinz and Feldsaiar has become settled
among the dealers in clay and other refractory materials about Woodbridge and Amboy,
in Middlesex county. The term " Kaolin," is there applied to a very fine white sand,
containing a small percentage of clay. The term " Feldspar," is given to a natural material, which consists of coarse, angular grains of quartz, mixed with a large percentage
of refractory but not very plastic clay. The term Micaceous Sand, may properly be
applied to the first of these. And the "Feldspar," after the-quartz is washed out, is
really Kaolin, or china clay. In deference to the local practice, these common terms
have been used in this catalogue, but printed in quotation marks.

TERTIARY FORMATIONS.
The southern portion of the State is mainly occupied by these
formations.  They consist of beds of sand and clay, and the
surface is covered with a thin soil, which is not naturally very
productive. Some of the clays contain shells enough to be
designated as marls; and extensive beds of the purest of white
sand, for glass-makers' use, are common.  Some good farms are
found on this formation, and along its borders are found some
of the best farms in the State.
The drift materials are scattered very unevenly over the different formations throughout the State.

MAA GVER TIC IR ON ORERS.              47
MAGNETIC IRON ORES.
These ores are all in the Azoic Formations, and occur in
beds, interposed conformably between the layers of the Gneiss
rocks. They sometimes extend for a considerable distance, but
they are not continuous like the rocks themselves; thinning out
to nothing at their edges, and in many cases descending beneath
the surface in long folds or rolls, to an unknown depth. The
mines have long been worked. and most of the ore is carried to
furnaces near the coal mines in Pennsylvania.  There are
sixteen blast furnaces in the state, all of which are largely run
upon this ore.
The mines now opened number nearly 200, and are capable
of supplying i,ooo,ooo tons of ore annually. The ores are rich,
and being near the great markets of the country, they find a
ready sale. They vary in purity, some containing a little phosphorus, others sulphur, while others are almost entirely free from
these impurities. Many of the ores in the north-west, or Pequest
Belt, contain oxide of manganese, and are in demand for making
Bessemer steel.
The manufacture of iron was begun by Lewis Morris, in Monmouth co., as early as I682.  Forges for working the magnetic
ore of Morris co. into bar iron, were built at Whippany about
I7I0. The blast furnace at Oxford, was built in I742; and
iron has been a staple product of New Jersey from those early
days. The annual product, however, has been subject to great
variations, with the business of the country, the improvement in
methods of manufacture, and the convenience of locations for
cheap transportation, abundant supplies, and ready markets.

This is one of the oldest and most noted of the magnetic iron ore
mines of New Jersey, and it has steadily furnished a large amount
of very rich ore. It is the deepest in the state. At present it is
owned by the Dickerson Suckasunny Mining Co., and is worked by
the Allentown Iron Co. Most of the ore is smelted at their furnaces,
Allentown, Pa. The large block in the aisle, between the cases, is
from this mine-the gift of the owners and lessees. It weighs about
I8oo lbs. In the case of minerals, there is a large and remarkably
strong, natural magnet (lodestone) from this mine. It is loaned to
this collection by Fred. A. Canfield, M. E., of Dover.

ZINC  ORES.                       69
ZINC ORES.
Ores of zinc are mined at Stirling Hill and Mine Hill, in Sussex
co. The maps give a fair idea of the location and structure of
the beds of ore. Oxide, and silicate of zinc, and franklinite
are the principal ores. The specimens are a fair exhibit of the
ores. Much of it is worked directly into the white oxide, for
painters' use; but there is a large quantity used in making
spelter of a superior grade. The residuum left after making zinc
oxide, contains oxides of iron and manganese, and is used in
making spiegel-eisen.

not numbered.
The gangue rock, which has the form and appearance of calcite,
contains a considerable percentage of carbonate of manganese.
This causes it to weather to a manganese brown in exposed
specimens.
Under the case of zinc ores are two large blocks of ore, one mostly
zincite, the other mostly franklinite. These and the calamine in the
top of the case are from the mines of the Passaic Zinc Co., Stirling
