Geology of Hyder and Vicinity
By Prof. A. F. Buddington
Department of Geology, Princeton University
FROM U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN NO. 807
Fourteenth Installment
Geology (Continued)
The potassic feldspars include
microcline with a well devel
oped gridiron structure, micro
perthite with only a slight
amount of the plagioclase
phase and a clear feldspar that
may be orthoclasft but is prob
ably microcline.. The potassic
feldspar occurs in grains of
about the same size as the
plagioclase, but it does not
show good crystal faces as of
ten, and it includes small cryst
als of plagioclase. It therefore
must have begun crystallizat
ion somewhat later than the
plagioclase, but it is in major
part contemporaneous. The
accessory and ferromagnesian
minerals occur commonly in
closed in the potash feldspar.
The accessory minerals are in
small euhedral crystals. In part
they tend to be segregated to
gether and to be associated
with the ferromagnesian min
erals, within which they may
occur, and in part they tend to
occur at the borders between
the quartz and feldspar. Such
relations suggest that their per
iod of crystallization was long
starting early and finishing
late. Locally apatite crystals
are inclosed in magnetite and
both in titanite. The magne
tite crystals commonly occur
in groups of as many as a
score, some separate, some im
pinging, and some interfering |
with one another.
The quartz is for the most
part in grains of size similar to
the feldspars and of the same
period of crystallization ;but in
part it was the last mineral to
finish crystallization. Much 'of
it shows strain shadows and in
cipient crushing.
Locally the minerals are con
siderably crushed and reduced
to a granular aggregate. Prac
tically no hydrothertnal alte r
ation accompanied this mash
ing.
Boundary Granodiorite
A mass of granodiorite forrv.s
the northeast corner of the Sal
mon River area between the
top of the ridge north of the
eastern part of Texas Glacier
and the International bound
ary. The eastern border of
this mass appears to coincide
almost exactly with the int er
national boundary and to pass
just west of the peak of Mt.;
Bayard. The rock is well ex
posed along both sides of
Boundary Glacier at its head 1
and to a point about a mile
above its foot, also on the top
of the ridge north of the east
ern part of Texas Glacier. It is '
therefore here named the
Boundary granodiorite.
This grano diorite is medium
grained, and on the fresh sur
face it is seen to be composed
predominantly of white plagio-!
clase with scattered grains of
pink orthoclase, glassy quartz,
crystals of black biotite and
hornblende, and sparse minute
! crystals of yellowish-brown
litanite. Epidote faces some
fractures in the rock. In con
trast to the older Texas Creek
granodiorite, into which it is
intrusive and with which it
may be confused, the Bound
ary gronodiorite is much more
massive, is lighter colored,
with a pinkish hue, and con
tains conspicuous biotite plates.
The rock exposed on the Cana
dian side along the lower part
of Boundary Glacier is the Tex
as Creek granodiorite. The av
erage composition of five spec
imens of granodiorit/e, as deter
mined in this section, is given
in the table as No. 9.
Narrow green-gray and dark
gray dikes of sparsely porphy
ritic malchite and of pink ap
lite are common in the Bound
ary granodiorite and are local
ly very abundant near the
southern and eastern boundar
ies on the ridge north of Texas
Glacier. The malchite dikes
strike in general northeast.
Biotite and hornblende both
occur as euhedral crystals, loc
ally slightly replaced and cor
roded on'the borders of the
feldspars or split by the feld
spars and quartz. The plagio
clase is zoned, but its average
composition is about that of a
typical andesine. It is in part
contemporaneous with the fer
romagnesian minerals, and in
part its period of crystalliz
ation overlapped, beginning
slightly earlier and finishing
later. The potassic feldspar
contains included crystals of
plagioclase, hornblende, and
biotite and occurs in part inter
stital to the plagioclase. It con
tains a small amount of plagio
clase in microperthitic inter

T
growth. The apatite tends to
be associated in considerable
degree with the magnetite and
in part occurs as crystals in
cluded in the magnetite. Titan
ite crystals are sparsely dissem
inated through the rock, and a
few of .them include crystals
of apatite and magnetite. They
are present both as euhedral
crystals and as rounded grains.
Rarely a trace of zircon is pres
ent. Chlorite and magnetite
secondary after the ferromag
nesian minerals are locally
common. Sparse grains of sec
ondary epidote are usually
present. The chlorite in part
has the appearance of being in
tergrown with the biotite.
The geology of the area north
of the international boundary
line has not been studied, so
that it is not known whether
the Boundary granodiorite
forms an apophysis from the
main Coast Range batholith or
is a separate stock. In either
case it represents a less ad
| vanced stage of differentiation
j than the Hyder quartz monzo
! nite.

longing to the Monarch Group,
situated near the top of ridge on
Fish Creek, the location certificates
of which are found of record in
Volume One of Lodes at pages 124
and 125 respectively in the office of
the Recorder, Hyder Recording Pre

mentioned, July 1st of each year
being the end of each assessment
year. And if within ninety days from
the personal service of this notice,
or wlthiu ninety days after the final
publication thereof, being January 18.
1930, you fail or refuse to contribute
your proportion of such expenditure
upon or for the benefit of the Alaska
Quartz Claim Lode and the North
Star Quartz Claim Lode, two hundred
dollars on each of said claims, a
total of $400.00, you holding a one
third interest in each of said claims,
your interest in said claims will be
come the property of the subscriber,
your co-owner, who has made the
