Geology of 1l>Jer and Vicinity
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
( Ninth Installment )
The typical graywacke is dis
tinctly tuffaceous. It consists
almost wholly of green horn
blende and plagioclase with as
sociated secondary alteration
products. Hornblende is ap
proximately equal in quantity
to the plagioclase. Locally a
little orthoclase is present, and
occasionally accessory apatite.
In the freshest specimens both
the hornblende and the plagio
clase show many crystal faces.
The feldspars are partly al
tered to sericite and epidote.
The ferromagridsian minerals
are chloritic. A little calcite is
not uncommon, and rarely
there is a trace of secondary
quartz. A little residium of
augite is left at the core of
many of the hornblende crys
tals, suggesting that the origin
al ferromagnesian mineral was
in part, if not wholly, a pyrox
ene.
There are three main belts
in which beds of slaty argillite
or argillite that is in part thin
banded with light green-gray
to dark quartzitic layers and
forms the crest and southern
forms the crest and southern
slope of the ridge between
Greenpoint and Hummel Glac
iers and the southern part of
the area of sediments between
Casey and Ferguson Glaciers.
A third belt forms the whole
ridge north of the West Fork
and west of Ibex Creek except
for its west end. This belt may j
also include the band of slaty
argillite that forms the narrow
part of the spur between Texas
and Chickamin Glaciers. Rare
ly a dark blue-gray limestone
is thin bedded with the argill
ite and quartzitic layers or oc
curs intercalated as a bed. The
two belts of slaty argillite in
the vicinity of the upper part
of the West Fork and of Texas
and Greenpoint Glaciers ap
pears to represent the same
formation isoclinally infolded
within the predominant gray
wacke formation which strati
graphically underlies them.
The southern belt dips preva
lently to the north or is vertical
though minor folds locally
give dips in the opposite direct
ion in both belts. In the absence
of detailed structural study it
is impossible to estimate the
thickness of either the gray
wacke or the slaty argillite.
Coast Range Intrusives
.. Texas Creek Batholith And ..
Associated Dikes
Character and Extent
A batholith of igneous rocks
with a few outlying cupolas
and dikes occupies most of the
area shown on Plate 2. This
is known as the Texas Creek
batholith. The rock is chiefly
a granodiorite and is intimate
ly and probably genetically
connected with most of the ore
deposits of this district. The
mass is therefore very import
ant because of its relation to
the mineral deposits, and its
contacts will be described in
detail.
The core of the Texas Creek
batholith is a porphyritic gran
odiorite, here named Texas
Creek granodiorite but the
border facies and the outlying
stocks are in general nonpor
phyritic quartz diorite. Local
ly immediately adjacent to the
contact, diorite or monzodio
rite is found* These less alka
lic and more basic facies are
probably due to quicker cool
ing, which resulted in a less
advanced stage of differenti
ation.
The Texas Crek batholith is
cut by dikes of granodiorite
and granodiorite porphyry
genetically associated with the
Hyder quartz monzonite and
the Boundary granodiorite,
by a few light-colored dikes
of quartz porphyry, and by
dark-colored dikes of malchite
and lamprophyre. Within 500
feet of the borders or roof of
th e batholith aplite and peg
matite veins are common in
both the batholith and the
country rock.
Where small dikes of the Tex
as Creek batholith occur in the
country rock the dike rock has
a fine to dense grain and a
porphritic aspect, so that it is
difficult or impossible to dis
criminate between such dikes
and the quartz porphyry dikes
that cut the Texas Creek bath
olith. The quartz porphyry
dikes must be genetically asso
ciated with the Texas Creek
batholith, as they have suf
fered the same metamorphism,
are cut by the metalliferous
veins, and are older than Hy
der quartz monzonite and the
Boundary granodiorite. It is
probable that the porphyries
with which the Premier ore
bodies in British Columbia are
associated are outlying stocks
genetically associated with the
Texas Creek batholith.
The southern boundary of the
Texas Creek bathlith is against
the Hyder quartz monzonite
and ru ns almost due west for
____ I
MAP OF
4Va miles. From an altitude of
about 3,500 feet on the south*
west slope of Mount Dolly it
crosses the Salmon River road
just north of Fish Creek and
probably follows the ridge on
the south side of Thumb Creek,
though the contact here was
not traced. All of the valley of
Thumb Creek to a point within
three-quarters of a mile of the
foot of Thumb Glacier is jn the
Texas Creek granodiorite. The
head of Thumb Creek Valley
is in the Hyder quartz monzo
nite. The boundary of the Tex
as Creek granodiorite strikes
northwest along the east side
of the valley of Red Glacier
and crosses Thumb Creek, then
just below the foot of Gray
Glacier it swings more toward
the west, crosses Thumb Creek
at the head of Ferguson Glac
ier, and continues nearly along
the crest of the ridge to a point
about 2 miles to the west,
where it turns north and then
a little east of north to a point
cn the west side of Ferguson
Glacier about % of a mile from
its foot, at an altitude of about
3,000 feet.

ALASKA GETS MORE
FOREST ROAD FUNDS
More than $1,600,000 is due
thirty states and Alaska from
the federal government, as
their share of the receipts from
national forests within their
boundaries for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1929, accord
ing to recent Washington, D.
C. announcements.
Alaska’s share of the total al
lotment amounts to $20,628,
a decided decrease compared
to the previous year.
With major developments now
taking place in the pulp timber
lands in Alaska, it is expected
that the next few years will
show greater revenues avail
able to the territory from this
source.
--O
Colonel Ben Eielson recent
ly acquired the holdings of
the Anchorage Air Transport,
a local corporation which has
been operating airplanes out
of Anchorage to various sec
tions of the territory. The
deal marks the purchase by
Col. Eielson of all the air
transportation concerns oper
ating in the interior, having
previously acquired the Ben

Airways holdings.
