Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
Imineral deposits of the
HYDER MINING DISTRICT
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
■FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
Veins of the gold type: Scho
field and Hanson refer a body
of ore in the Premier mine in
Canada to this type. It is a sil
icious heavy-sulphide deposit.
Quartz and pyrite are the pre
dominant minerals. Small
quantities of chalcopyrite,
sphalerite, and galena are
present. Assays show moder
ate to high value in gold and
practically no silver. A similar
mineral aggregate appears to
occur in the Texas Creek batli
olith on the Cantu property on
the Alaskan side.
Disseminated and lenticluar
replacement deposits: These
occur mainly in the green
stones parallel to the schistose
structure and are principally of
base-metal types. The predom
inant metalliferous minerals
are pyrite, galena, sphalerite,
and pyrrhotite, or pyrrhotite
with minor amounts of chalco
pyrite and arsenopyrite and a
very little sphalerite. Chalco
! pyrite is present in practically
all the veins and is the pre
dominant ore mineral in some.
Tetrahedrite and arsenopyrite
are found in a considerable
number of them. The sphaler
. ite carries gold, but the quanti
1 ty ranges from very low to
very high. Some secondary
rich silver minerals are found
' in these deposits on the Canad
ian side, and a trace of native
! silver has been found in depos
its of this type on the Alaskan
side. The gangue commonly
consists of the altered country
rock, quartz, rather abundant
calcite, and at some places bar
ite. Examples of this type are
found on the Daly-Alaska, Vir
ginia, Hobo, and Stoner prop
erties. Analogous deposits on
:he Canadian side are found on
the Big Missouri and Forty
nine properties. Deposits of
:his character form one of the
major types of occurrence
throughout both the Alaskan
ind Canadian portions of the
iistrict.
Mineralized fissure zones, ap
proximately parallel to - the
structure, in slate and tuffa
:eous graywacke of the Hazel
;on group: These zones con
sist in part of fissure fillings
ind in part of partly replaced
country rock. The amount of
?angue is extremely variable,
rhe mineralization consists
predominantly of galena or
sphalerite, or both, with vari
ible amounts of pyrite, chalco
pyrite, tetrahedrite, and arsen
ppyrite. Examples are found
n the Silver Bell and Iron Cap
daims.
Relation To Country Rock
Type of Vein
The deposits made up of
,-eins and veinlike replacement
odes and the disseminated de
posits are practically limited
:o the greenstone. The veins
MAP OF
PORTLAND CANAL MINING DISTRICT
IIYDER. ALASKA
that are approximately para
llel to the structure and consist
for the most part of fissure
fillings and in slight part of
I replacement deposits are pre
j dominantly restricted to the
! graywacke, argillite, and slate.
I The mineralized quartz fissure
veins that lie at an angle to the
structure (that is, the gneissic
structure of the Texas Creek
batholith, teh bedding of the
sediments, or the foliation of
the greenstone) occur predom
inantly in the Texas Creek
batholith. Westgate has de
I scribed the relations of the
I type of de'posit to the nature of
| the inclosing rock. He writes:
The softer greenstones, at
the prospects mainly altered
tuffs, are thought incapable of
retaining open fissures, so that
in them the deposit was formed
by replacement along shear
j zones. The granite (Texas
j Creek batholith) seems to have
! been firmer and able to retain
! open fissures; hence it holds
j typical veins. At the depth of
i the deposits at the time of their
formation the granite was in
the zone of fracture, and the
greenstone in the zone of flow
age.
The graywacke. appears to
i have been more favorable for
; the formation of fissure veins
than the greenstone or argillite
■ and a number of veins occur
! within it. The outlying dikes
of porphyry in the rocks of the
Hazelton group also appear to
have become brittle, and many
veins of quartz occur in them
or along their contact with the
country rock.
