Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
MINERAL DEPOSITS OF THE
HYDER MINING DISTRICT
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
Type Of Veins
Strike and Dip
Pyrihotite is sparse or absent
in the veins in the Texas Creek
batholith and in the slate and
argillite of the Hazelton group,
but it is common in the veins in
the graywacke and is one of
the chief minerals in the veins
in the greenstone As the veins
in the greenstone were probab
ly formed at a lower tempera
ture than those in the Texas
Creek batholith, it is improba
ble that the relative abundance
pyirhotike in these veins in the
greenstone, as contrasted with
the predominance of pyrite in
the fissure veins, can be due to
differences in temperature
during their formation. It is
probably due to some influence
of the country rock, though
just how this influence has op-1
erated is not clear.
Mineralogy of the Deposits
Classification of the Minerals
The ore and gangue minerals
of the Hyder district are listed
below:
Native elements: Gold, silver.
Sulphides: Galena, pyrite,
pyrrhotite, sphalerite, chaleo
pyrite, molybdenite, chalmer
site, covellite, marcasite.
Sulphosalts: Tetrahedrite,
freibtrgite, arsenopyrite, prou
stite.
Sulphates: Barite, anglesite.
Oxides: Quartz, magnetite,
specularite, limonite.
Carbonates: Calcile, anker*
ite, malachite,-azurite.
Tungstate: Scheelite.
Undetermined minerals.
Native Elements
Gold.—Practically all the
mineral deposits in the district
carry at least a little gold. Gold
is known to occur in part as the
native metal, at some places in
coarse flakes, but its mode of
occurrence at other places has
not been ascertained. Native
gold has been observed in
abundance locally in certain
quartz veins ou the Riverside
property. On the Sixmile
group of claims it occurs in
narrow quartz stringers and in
the granodiorite wall rock ad-1
jecent to the contact of thtr I
veins. It has also been observed ;
in quartz veins on the Mon
arch, Crest, and Cantu proper
ties and in a boulder of float on
the Texas Creek Comstock.]
All thg quartz veins that carry |
free gold have local shoots I
heavily mineralized with sul
phides.
Silver.—Native silver is very
rare on the Alaska side of the
international boundary, though
it is very plentiful in the Pre
mier ore and is found on the |
Spider, Silver Tip, Porter-Ida-;
ho, and other properties on the
Canadian side. Native silver
has been found in small
amounts near a. fault plane on
MAP OF
PORTLAND CANAL MINING DISTRICT
IIYDER. ALASKA
; the Daly-Alaska property and
in a vein on the Mountainview
! group of claims.
Sulphides
Galena.—Galena is the pre
i dominant ore mineral of the
j district and has been found 'in
■ every vein. The galena is usu
| ally of medium grain, but local
ly it has been mashed and
j crushed by movements to a
fine-grained aggregate called
steel galena. .Such dense gal
ena may show a flowage relat
ion toward other minerals. The
galena generally occurs con
I centrated in local shoots in the
_ quartz fissure veins, but in the
mineralized bands that consti- ’
tute the replacement veins in
the lower part of the Hazelton
group it is more uniformly dis
tributed. It carries moderate
quantities of silver and usually
$2 to $4 in gold to the ton.
Pyrite.—Pyrite is probably
the most abundant metallic
mineral in the district, and it,
too, has been found in every
vein. Where the mineralization
is sparse, pyrite may be of the
only metallic mineral present.
Jn such places it occurs usually
in good crystals, commonly in
the form of pyritohedrons or
cubes in the quartz fissure
veins and in the form of cubes
in the disseminated deposits in
the Hazelton group. At many
places it is associated in con
siderable amounts in the gal
ena in localized ore shoots in
the quartz fissure veins. The
amount of gold and silver in
the pyrite is variable. Some py
ritic quartz veins in the Texas
Creek granodiorite and some
pyritic impregnation and re
placement deposits in the beds
of the Hazelton group carry
considerable gold; others do
not. At some places the silver
content of the pyrite is high.
Continued next week.
Signaling the revival of quartz
mining at Nuka Bay, Downing
and Babcock, mine operators,
report that they are now about
to begin milling on a large
'cale and have contracted for
a large mill to be delivered in
March and are el ecting a plant
building and bunk houses on
the site.
NOTICE Or FORFEITURE
To Jessie K. Jamieson;
You are hereby notified that the un-_
lersigned has expended the sum of
mo hundred dollars ($100.00) during
he fiscal years ending Jnly 1. 1927,

ind improvements upon each of the
ollowing lode mining claims situated
m Texas Crock in the Hyder Record
ng Precinct. Alaska, as will appear by
Proofs of Labor for each of said years
liled for record in the office of the Re
corder for said precinct at Hydert
Alaska, said claims being designated
as follows:

‘Ibex No. 3,” “Ibex No. 4," and “Ibex
No. 5.”
In order to hold said claims under the
provisions of Section 2324 of the Re
vised Statutes of the United States
and the laws of the Territory of Alas
ka concerning annual assessment
work on mining claims; such expend
