Geology of Hyder and Vicinity
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
(Eighteenth Installment)
Geology (Continued)
Hyder and Boundary Intrusives
The ityder quartz monzonite,
the Boundary granodiorite,'
and their associated dikes in
the older country rock have lo
cally produced contact meta
morphism. Mechanical, ther
mal, and hydrothermal alter
ations and replacements have
been effected. The chemical
metamorphism, though note
worthy, is nevertheless not
comparable with what might
be expected along the contact
of so large a body as the Coast
Range batholith or even the
Hyder quartz monzonite por
tion of it..
The pressure and thrust at
tendant upon the intrusion of
the Hyder quartz monzonite
magma, with the resultant
mashing, have produced schist,
gneiss, and augen gneiss from
the Texas Creek intrusive
rocks where they border the’
younger igneous mass. This
mechanical mashing of the
Texas Creek rocks may or may
not be accompanied by hydro
thermal alterations of the min
erals. Some of the rock shows
merely the effect of mechanic
al crushing, pulverization of
the* minerals, and the product
ion of mortar structure, with
out noteworthy alteration. At
most places the plagioclase
feldspars are partly or com
pletely altered to epidote ag
gregates or to sericitic or mus
covitic aggregates with a lit
tle associated chlorite and epi
dote, and the horpblende is al
tered to aggregates of fine,
•flaky biotite with some associ
ated epidote, chlorite, magne
tite, and sericite. Usually a lit
tle calcite is present. Generally
there are numerous schistocity
planes, parallel to which
streaks or bands of chlorite or
epidote or both replace or vein
the rock. Rarely a little garn
et is associated with the epi
dote, and a few grains of green
spinel (hercynite) and chlori
toid have been found with the
chlorite. Usually a little mag
inetite is associated with the
chlorite. The potash feldspars
are uniformly fresh and unalt
ered.
On the west slope of Mount
Dolly solutions from the Hyder
quartz monzonite magma have
locally produced high-temper
ature alterations for a distance
of miles north of the pres
ent contact. The greenstone
and graywacke are locally
banded with epidote, and
there are suartz lenses and
veinings both parallel and
across the bedding, which car
ry associated garnet and epi
dote and in places a little chal
rcopyrite. To the north, on
Bear River Ridge, there are a
number of granodiorite por
phyry dikes, which are off
shoots from the Hyder quartz
monzonite. Locally, in the
T
greenstone adjoining the dikes,
there are fractures along
which the rock has been al
tered to epidote, with which
are commonly associated pock
ets of crystalline hematite
(specularite).
On the north side of Green
point Glacier the contact be
tween the graywacke and the
Hyder quartz monzonite is ex
posed in a gulch. Here the
graywacke is much disturbed
and metamorphosed. Epidote,
hornblende, and garnet are
common. The quartz monzo
nite adjacent to the contact is
white and contains gash veins
a few inches long with dissem
inated chalcopyrite, also small
fracture surfaces faced with
molybdenite. On the mountain
slope northeast, of Greenpoint
Glacier the slate has a pencil
structure in the vicinity of the
contact with the Hyder quartz
monzonite.
On Chickamin River the slate
is changed to crinkled phyllite
near the contact, and both
graywacke and slate are pre
dominantly hqrnblendic, chlo
ritic, and locally biotitic.Quartz
veins, in part with garnet and
chlorite parallel to the schist
osity, are common. The Bound
ary granodiorite and its asso
ciated dikes have caused the
argellite in the band on the top
of the ridge north of Texas
Creek to be metamorphosed to
tactite. There are great irreg
ular masses and veinlets of ep
idote, garnet, and pyroxene,
and abundant small veinlets of
quartz, calcite, and unidenti
fied minerals.
Continded next week.
DANGEROUS INSANE
OF ALASKA MAY BE
SENT BACK EAST
A bill providing that danger
ous insane residents of Alaska
may be housed at St. Elizabeth
Hospital in Washington, D. C.,
has been introduced by Repre
sentative Johnson, of Washing
ton, according to press dis
patches.
At present only the criminally
insane of Alaska are author
ized to be housed in the Wash
ington institution. Other insane
from the Territory are cared
for at Morningside Sanitarium,
at Portland, Ore.
The motorship Norco recent
hit a small iceberg a short dis
tance north of Petersburg,
while enroute from Juneau to
Seattle. The vessel sustained
slight damage and was tempo
rarily repaired at Petersburg.
The Mountain Point cannery
of the Wrangel Narrows Pack
ing Co., was destroyed by fire
recently. It will be reconstruct
ed.
