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
The mineral deposits of eco
nomic importance in the Sal
mon River district in Canada
have been classified by Scho
fiel and Hanson, and those in
the Alaska part of the district
by Westgate. The following
classification is a combination
of both of these, somewhat
modified by the writer:
1. Quartz fissure veins of sil
ver-lead-gold type: The prin
cipal value is in lead, the silver
ranges from moderate to high,
and gold is in moderate
amounts but high for this type
of vein. The veins occur prin
cipally within the Texas Creek
{franodiorite but are found also
in the rocks of the Hazelton j
group and with outlying stocks
and dikes of porphyry associ
ated with the Tezas Creek
granodiorite. Nearly all of
them cut acros^the structure of
the rocks in which they occur.
The sulphides occur in shoots
within the quartz veins. The
predominant metal liferous
minerals so far as quantity is
concerned are galena and py
rite. Sphalerite and chalcopy
rite are present as accessory
minerals in practically all the
veins, and tetrahedrite, pyrrho
tite, and native gold occur in
ftnall amounts in many of
them. Scheelite is locally
present in a few of the veins.
Barite is a common gangue
mineral in about half of them.
Examples of this type are
found on the Fish Creek,
Mountain View, Riverside,
Homestake, Cantu, and Texas
Comstock properties, and they
constitute one of the major
types of veins in the district.
2. Veins and veinlike replace
ment deposits of silver-gold
type in porphyry and in tuft
near the contacts or included
within the porphyry: The Pre
mier ore body in Canada is de
scribed by Schofield and Han
son as of this type. This ore
body occurs within a stock ot
granodiorite porphyry that
contains numerous inclusions
of greenstone. Burton describes
its relations as follows: “Fraet-1
uring has been concentrated
along the contact between the
porphyry stock and the green
stone, and the main ore zone
striking N. 40 E., follows this
contact, with a dip of 503-75°i
N. W. The northwest ore zone
is ill defined, but where it joins
the southwest end of the main
ore zone mineralization has
been particularly intense, and
the sulphide body is unusually
wide, due to the porphyry be
ing rendered highly perme
able in that locality.” The larg
er ore shoots are lenticular.
The minerals present are py
rite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite,;
galena, tetrahedrite, freiberg
ite, polybasite, pyargyrite, ar
gentite, stehpanite,. native sil
ver, and gold. The predomi
nant mineral is sphalerites.
| The gangue is rather abundant
and is almost entirely quartz.
Deposits of this type, charac
terized by the rich silver min
erals, have not been found in
the Alaska part of the district.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH
(By Rev. H. R. Cross, Pastor.)
laoes the tune ot some song
keep coming to you from time
to time? Does it remind you of
your childhood? Does it not
awaken a flood of sweet mem
ories? Children like to sing. ,
While they are learning, they
are putting into their memories
thoughts and tunes which will
lay with them through the
years. Realizing this we are
fiying to teach the boys and
girls the Sunday School hymns
we believe will be of help to
them in the years to come, for
hey will remember just as you
Jo now. W'e will be glad to
help your boys and girls learn
these hymns. Classes 10:30
Sunday morning.
Sunday evening, 7:30 p. m.,
Evening Worship service. This
is not a cold formal service.
You are invited to come and
share the friendly spirit of the
hour. The sermon topic,
“W'here Jesus Staggers Us,
may help you to express to
your own self some great truth
which you have not been able
to express before. March 16th
\\&e are planning to commence
our Evening service fifteen
minutes earlier so that we may
’.ave a fifteen minute song fest.
This is to be informal and you
may sing any hymn you would
like to.
“Fret not because thy place is
^mall,
Thy service need not be,
For thou cans’t make it all
:here is,
Of joy and ministry.”
