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
Notes on Prospecting
(Continued from last week)
Final Installment
On the Texas Comstock prop
erty there are several veins
which, as exposed, are practic
ally barren in the Texas Creek
quartz diorite but contain
good ore shoots in the overly
ing graywacke. In many other
veins within the Texas Creek
batholith, however, there are
good ore shoots, so that the ex
act significance of the facts
cited is not apparent, though
the facts are worth bearing in
mind. There is also the quest
ion as to just what the chances
are for the occurrence on the
Alaskan side of rich silver ores
such as some of those found in
the adjoining areas in British
Columbia. Unfortunately this
question cannot be answered
from the information now
available. The controlling con
ditions in the origin of the Can
adian high-grade silver depos
its are not known with suffic
ient definiteness. Some of
them, such as. the Porter-Ida
ho, are certainly due predomi
nantly to weathering and en
richment; others, such as those
at the Premier mine, appear to
have resulted from primary
deposition of rich silver miner
als combined with some enrich
ment; and still others may be
wholly primary.
Stocks, dikes, and sills of pre
mineral porpnyry are reporieu
to occur in the Salmon River
drainage basin in British Col
umbia at least as far north as
the Big Missouri mine, and the
writer believes that they are
genetically connected with the
Texas Creek intrusive rocks.
There is a possibility that some
of the mineralized veins that
occur farther away from the
main Texas Creek batholith in
association with these far out
lying porphyries may carry
i minerals richer in silver; this,
however, is only a hypothesis.
The Coast Range batholith in
the Hyder district consists of
quartz diorite, granodiorite,
and quartz monzonite, with in
cluded belts and fragments of j
schist and injection gneiss and
small quantities of associated
diorite and more basic rocks.
Very few mineral deposits have j
been discovered within the;
core.
In the past this has commonly
been ascribed to an actual
| scarcity of metallization there,
but it is now being recognized
as possibly due in part to the
exceeding ruggedness of the
country and its inaccessibility,
with consequent slight pros
pecting. Mineral deposits of
economic importance occur in
the belts of metamorphic com
plex inclosed within the batho
j lith, and there is no doubt that
others will be found. In the !
writer’s opinion, however, the
chances are slim for any indi
i vidual prospector to find an
ore deposit of economic im
portance under present condit
ions within the Coast Range
batholith along a valley as in
accessible as that of Chickamin
River. If prospecting is carried
on within the batholith, the
bands of schist and the ex
treme borders of the batholith
would in general appear to be
the more favorable localities.
The predominant types of
metalliferous deposits within
the belts of crystalline schist
and injection gneiss included
within the core of the Coast
range batholith include re
placement and impregnation
deposits carrying copper (chal
copyrite) and zinc (sphaler
ite). Quartz fissure veins with
copper or rarely molybdenite
and mineralized schist bands
with galena, sphalerite, and
tetrahedrite, are also present.
Within the belts of schist and
gneiss bands of oxidized, rusty
weathering, sulphide-impreg
nated rock are also common.
Predominantly these bands
carry only pyrite or pyrrhotite
or both, with a little chalcopy
rite and a very low content in
gold, and under present condit
ions they are of no value. But
some carry combinations of
pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphal
erite, and galena and deserve
consideration. Both types of
deposit—the iron sulphide im
piegnated bands and the base
metal bands— have a similar
weathered appearance, and the
pyrite-pyrrhotite bands are so
predominant that the base
metal bands carrying chalco
pyrite, sphalerite, or galena,
or a combination of these min
erals, are liable to be passed
over through lack of careful
examination of the fresh rock.
Sphalerite and pyrrhotite are
the predominant minerals in
several metallized zones in the
schist and gneiss belts at or
near the western border of the
batholith. It seems probable
that other similar deposits will
be found as these belts of met
amorphie rocks are more
thoroughly prospected.
Continued next week.
NOTICE OF FORFEITURE
To Jessie K. Jamieson:
You are hereby notified that the un
