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
Mineralogy of the Deposits
Sulphates
Barite, though only locally
abundant, occurs in a large,
percentage of the mineral de
posits and must be considered
a common gangue mineral.
Where barite occurs in consid
erable quantities tetrahedrite
is usually more abundant.
Angleeite is a common alter
ation product along the cleav
age surfaces of galena in or
near the surface outcrop.
Oxides
Quartz is the predominant
gangue mineral of the fissure
veins and is one of the chief
gangue minerals in the replace
ment deposits.. The quartz is
usually massive, white and!
milky.
Magnetite has not been found
within the fissure veins associ
ated with the Texas Creek
granodiorite. It is, however,
one of the principal minerals
associated with pyrite, in
quartz fissure veins in the Hy
der quartz monzonite. In this
association it also occurs in a
bladed form pseudomorphic
after specularite.
Specularite.—the crystalline
variety of hematite—is found
in zones of contact metamor
phism on Bear River Ridge ad
jacent to the granodiorite por
phyry dikes genetically associ
ated with the Hyder quartz
monzonite. It also occurs in
quartz fissure veins within the
H y d e r quartz monzonite,
where it is associated with
magnetite and pyrite.
Limonite, the iron hydrate, is
present as a surface alteration
product in the outcrops of the
mineral deposits and also oc
curs to considerable depths
along weathered fracture sur
faces.
Carbonates
Calcite is very common and
rather abundant gangue min-j
eral in the mineral deposits and
veins within the Hazelton
group, but it is rare in the
quartz fissure veins.
Ankerite is present locally in
small amounts in a few of the j
veins, but on the whole is'
sparse.
Malachite is common in the
surface croppings of veins that
carry chalcopyrite.
Azurite is rare but occurs in
sparse amounts associated with
malachite in the surface out
crops
Tungstate
Scheelite was identified in j
four different fissure veins in
he Hyder district and probab
ly occurs in others. It has been
found in abundance locally in
one of the veins at the River
side mine and in Fish Creek
No. 2 vein on the Mountain
view property. It occurs dis-;
geminated in quartz and in as
sociation with barite as a re-1

suit of veinin^ and replace
ment of the quartz by the bar
ite.
Undetermined Minerals
Five minerals that were dis
tinguishable only by micro
scopic examination and chem
ical tests and that could not be
positively identified with any
known mineral were found in
the ores. They occur in small
amounts and in but few of the
veins, associated with tetrahed
lite and galena. In some places
they seem to bear a definite re
lation to the tetrahedrite- gal
ena contacts.
Interrelation of Ore Minerals.
Study of samples of ore with
the reflecting microscope
..hows that the ore minerals
in considerable part were not
formed simultaneously but suc
cessively, and that earlier min
erals of deposition are partly
replaced, corroded, or veined
by later minerals. A study by
W. B. Jewell shows that the
accession or paragenesis and
nterrelations of the ore miner
als are the same in all the veins
ctudied, irrespective of their
position relative to the contact
oetween the Texas Creek gran
odiorite and the Hazelton
group, the altitude, or the type
of country rock.In a few places
reversals occur, but all these
are where the minerals con
cerned were deposited very
nearly together and some over
lapping might be expected.
The order given below is that
noted in a great preponder
ance of the veins, with the old
est mineral listed at the top.
1. Scheelite.
i. rynte and arsenopynte.
3. Arsenopyrite.
4. Pyrrhotite.
5. Sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and
chalmersite.
3. Chalcopyrite.
7. Galena, chalcopyrite, tetra
hedrite, freibergite, gold (?),
md the undetrmined minerals.
3. Tetrahedrite, freibergite,
and the undetermined miner
als.
