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
Type Of Vein*
Strike and Dip
West of the Casey Glacier
Ibex Gulch belt, at the head of
the West Fork and including in
particular the Texas Comstock
ridge and the valley of Fergu
son Glacier, is an area in which
the veins in the granodiorite
and quartz diorite have a very
uniform strike, trending almost
exclusively N. 30°-!?0o W. and
dipping 45°-805 E. ;the dip is
about equally divided between
45°-50 and 60°-80°. In the
graywacke and slate of the
same area there are three
groups of veins; about half the
veins have the same geperal
strike as the veins in the grano
diorite, N.30 -50° W., the oth
er N. 75 E. to N. 70 W. The
veins that strike north to north-!
west in general dip 45°-70° E.,
cut across the bedding of the
sediments, and carry mineral-1
ization of about the same type
as the northwest veins in the
granodiorite. The veins within
15°-20° of east-west are ap
proximately parallel to the
bedding, though ~ they may
cross it at a slight angle, and
they carry a somewhat differ
ent mineralization. The dip of
these veins is variable, both in
amount and in direction.
Character of the Vein*
Fissure Veins at an angle to
the Structure
Quartz veins occur at alti
tudes ranging from sea level on
the Riverside property to 5,100
feet on the east side of Fergu
son Glacier. The mineraliz
ation is similar at the different
altitudes.
The total length of only a few
of the mineralized quartz fis
sure veins has been deter
mined. The Cross vein on the
Riverside property is 750 feet
long; a vein on the Sunset
claims has been traced for 900
feet; the Lindeborg vein is re
ported to have been traced for
1,800 feet; and a considerable
number of veins have been
traced for 450 to 600 feet
without ascertaining their total
length. Like most quartz veins,
they show local contractions
and expansions. They range
from mere stringers to veins 15
ft. in width but predominantly
are between 1 and 5 feet. Lo
cally they consist of a breccia
of the country rock intersected
by a network of veinlets. The
sulphides occur mostly i n
shoots within the quartz but in
part are disseminated through
the quartz in sufficient quanti
ty to constitute a milling ore.
The heavy sulphide ore shoots
range from several feet to 150
in length and from 6 inches to
5 feet in width. Considerable
quartz, barren or with only
sparse sulphides, may inter
vene between the concentrated
shoots of ore; and the major
I
portions of eomo of the veins
are relatively barren. None of
the veins have been prospected
to any great depth. A shaft
has followed the Cross vein on
the Riverside property down
the dip for 350 feet; the Olym
pia Extension vein on the Fish
Creek group of claims has been
developed for a difference in
altitude of 250 feet; the Lindo
borg vein on the Riverside
property is reported to be ex
posed for a difference in alti
I tude of 700 feet; and veins on
j the Texas Comstock property
are exposed for a difference in
1 altitude of 500 feet.
Veins Parallel to the Structure.
The veins and veinlike re
placement deposits in the
greenstone and in the porphy
ry dikes of the Texas Creek
j batholith have been but little
pro.spected. The greatest
amount of development on de
posits of this type have been
dohe on the Daly-Alaska prop
erty. Small shoots of ore have
been found here, but not in suf
ficient number or continuity to
warrant the installation of a
mill or attempts at mining.
Practically no development
work has been done on veins
approximately parallel to the
structure in the graywacke,
argillite, and slate beds, as con
trasted with the fissure veins
at an angle to the structure in
the same beds. One vein ap
proximately parallel to the
bedding has apparently been
traced for about 600 feet and
found to consist of mineralized
quartz stringers in a narrow
fissured zone in the argillite,
but most of them have not been
definitely traced for more
than 150 feet because of the
overburden and lack of pros
pecting. The veins consist of
stringers of mineralized quartz
,and ealcite or of solid sulphide
in fissured zones ranging in
width from a few inches to 15
feet. The stringers may be at a
considerable distance apart, or
they may be close together and
interlocked to form a more def
inite vein.
Continued next week.
