MINERAL DEPOSITS OF THE
HYDER MINING DISTRICT
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL S URVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
Mineralogy of the Deposits
In practically all the fissure j
veins that contain only one me-!
tallic mineral, i n sparse
amounts the mineral is pyrite.
Where the mineralization i^
slightly greater, chalcopyrite
may accompany the pyrite. In
the heavily mineralized sul
phide shoots galena or galena
and pyrite are usually predom
inant* Tetrahedrite,and sphal
erite are generally associated
with the veins in which galena J
forms most of the sulphides j
and pyrite is minor in amount, i
All combinations, however,
may occur along the same vein.
Chalcopyrite does not necess
arily increase in amount cor-1
reepondingly with total in
crease in sulphides; and where j
as sphalerite may rise to note- i
worthy amounts, chalcopyrite !
may still remain minor.
Where antimony was present '
in the solutions the copper J
tends to form tetrahedrite, and !
where tertahedrite is common '■
chalcopyrite is usually sparse.
Notes on Prospecting.
It is important that one en
gaged in searching for mineral
deposits in this region, or in de
veloping them, should be fa
miliar with the distinguishing
characteristics of the Boundary
granodiorite, the Hyder quartz
monzonite, the younger grano
diorite porphyry dikes, the
malchite and lamprophyre
I
dikes, and the Texas Creek
granodiorite and its, variations
and associated dikes. The
quartz monzonite and grano
diorite are pink to white and
are much more massive than
the dull-gray fractured and lo
cally sheared Texas Creek in
trusive rocks. The Hyder
quartz monzonite characteris
tically shows a small amount
of biotitc, whereas the Texas
Creek granodiorite usually
shows abundant black horn
blende rods in parallel orient
ation, giving rise to a gnessic
01 banded structure, and is us
ually marked by many slicken
sided fracture surfaces with
green chlorite a;nd yellowish
green apidote. The distinct
ion between the older porphy
ry dikes and the younger Coast
Range intrusive rocks should
be borne in mind. The olfler
dikes are green to gray, are
sheared and altered, and are
associated at many places with
ore deposits. The younger
dikes are pink to white, mass
ive and little altered; they are
not known to be associated
with ore deposits and at" sever
al localities cut the ore bodies.
A younger dike of granodiorite
porphyry in the Texas Creek
granodiorite is well shown in a
road cut just opposite the Sal
mon River bridge above Nine
mile. There is a fissured zone
in the younger dike, but prac

tically no alteration other than
weathering is observable. The
distribution of the discovered
mineral deposits indicates that
the zone within 1,500 to 2,000
feet of the contact of the Tex
as Creek batholith with the
rocks of the Hazelton group
is a favorable belt for pros
; pecting. Mineralization is also
i common in the immediate vi
! cinity of the porphyry dikes
and stocks of the Texas Creek
1 batholith, especially along
! their contact.
I An area that from its geolog
I ic relations should be favor
, able for prospecting lies above
I and in the vicinity of the prac
tically buried ridge of Texas
Creek quartz diorite that ex
tends a little north of west
from the head of the west Fork
of Texas Creek. This area is
about 2 miles wide and SVa to
4 miles long and includes the
lower part of the valley of Tex
as Glacier and the mountain
'lopes west and north of the
abiupt westward bend of
i Chickamin Glacier.
! 'The rocks of the Hazelton
i group in the block that forms
j Sanded Mountain and the
| mountains on the west side of
Through Glacier and that ex
| tends to a point 3*/j» miles be
low the foot of the Chickamin
I Glacier are also geologically
suitable for prospecting.
Though no economically valu
able deposits have yet been
’ found here, mineralized float
is common. The area of gray
wacke west of Through Glac
ier and south of the lower part
of Chickamin Glacier, howev
er, has the disadvantage of be
ing separated from the West
Fork trail by the glaciers It
would be necessary to find
here either evidence of high
grade ore or large bodies of
low-grade ore to warrant ex
tensive development work.
