Minerals Museum Dedicated Friday
At Gillespie Gap; Moomaw Attends
The story of North Carolina’s
rich mineral resources and their
Interesting uses is presented in a
series of colorful exhibits design
ed and constructed at the Nation
al Park Service’s Museum Labo
ratory in Washington, D. C., and
now on display in the new mu
seum of North Carolina Minerals
at Gillespie Gap on the North
Carolina portion of the Blue Rid
ge Parkway, acting secretary of
the Interior Clarence A. Davis
announced today.
The new minerals museum was
dedicated on Friday with Gover
nor Hodges as the prinicapl spea
ker. Conrad L. Wirth, director of
the National Park Service was
also present.
Ben Moomaw, superintendent
of Kings Mountain National Mili
tary Park, attended along with
Paul Lancaster of Kings Moun
tain Mica Company. The two
Kings Mountain firms provided
samples of local minerals for dis
play at the new unit.
About a year ago, funds were
provided by the State o* ' ' "'rth
Carolina for constructs .o
handsome stone museu> b.jia
ing at Gillespie Gap. This site
was selected because here the
Parkway skirts the Spruce Pine
area, one of the world’s most
highly mineralized regions.
Funds were also provided by
the State for preparation of the
museum exhibits by the National
Park Service. Mineral specimens
for the exhibits and study collec
tions of the museum were donat
ed by mining companies, mineral
collectors, and public - spirited
individuals. Many industrial con
cerns gave examples of a wide
variety of end products in which
North Carolina minerals are us
ed. The State Department of Con
servation and Development co
operated closely with the Nation
al Park Service in planning and
developing the museum. A Mi
neral Museum Advisory commit
tee which included leading citi
zens of Spruce Pine, was active
in sponsoring the project and
gave much help to the National
Park Service in gathering the
specimens and detailed informa
tion needed for the museum.
Among the rare and valuable
objects in the exhibits is a fine
emerald mined near the museum
site. A jasper ware vase made in
1777 by Josiah Wedgwood, about
the time the Wedgwood factory
in England was using North Car
olina clay, was donated by the
Wedgwood Museum and will be
on display.
Special emphasis is given in
the exhibits to the minerals of
the Spruce Pine area, but miner
als in other parts of the State
are also featured.
Among the exhibits of wide in
terest are those showing the min
ing, processing, and use of feld
spar, which has produced more
income for the Spruce Pine area
than any other mineral; mica, us
ed extensively in the manufacture
of electrical equipment, rubber
goods, wallpaper, paint, roofing,
and lubricants; and the strategic
minerals, spodumene and tungs
ten, vital to national defense. The
Nation’s largest tungsten mine is
located near Townsville, N. C.
, One exhibit, recalls that more
than 300 minerals have been
found in the State and that about
our-quarter oi uiese nave econo
mic value and from 40 to 50 have
been, or are now, produced com
mercially.
Another exhibit displays the
surprising variety of gem stones
occurring in the State, and an ex
hibit on gold points out that until
1849 North Carolina was the
main gold • producing area in
the United States. This case also
contains some of the unofficial,
but widely accepted gold coins
minted between 1831 and 1857 by
a German immigrant family na
med Bechtler near Rutherford
ton, N. C. Bechtler coins always
assayed at least as high as offi
cial United States cofnage.
The geologic origin of North
Carolina’s minerals is explained
in other exhibits.
Visitors who wish to see how
widely, minerals are distributed
in the State and what minerals
occur near their homes may ope
rate the battery of switches on
an electric map showing the prin
cipal mineral deposits of North
Carolina. Another series of ex
hibits allows visitors to see how
several kinds of minerals react
to ultra-violet light. By pressing
buttons they can view the same
specimens first under ordinary
light and then a» they fluoresce
under the ultra-violet rays. These
exhibits have special viewing tu
bes for children.
Museum technicians in the Na
tional Park Service’s Museum La
boratory in Washington are set
ting up a special display of radio
active minerals of which North
Carolina has 13 kinds. Specimens
mounted on a disc may be moved
past a geiger counter so the visi
tor may read the relative streng
th radiation from each sample.
Another display deals with the
great 300-inch telescope mirror
for the Mount Palomar Observa
tory, which was fnade with quar
tz mined near the museum site.
The State provided $75,000 for
constructing the museum build
ing and preparing the exhibits.

_ For more milk value in foods,
add whole or non-fat dry milk
to the fluid milk used in soups,
mashed potatoes, cereals, and
beverages. One half cup of dry
milk added to a pint of fluid milk
makes the food twice as rich in
milk value as it is when fluid
milk alone is used.
