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
Sulphides
Pyrrhotit^ has been found as
a minor accessory mineral in
about one-third of the quartz
fissure veins in the Texas
Creek granodiorite, is common
in the veins in the graywacke
and slate, and is one of the
chief minerals in every vein in
the greenstone. The amount of
gold and silver contained is us
ually very low.
Sphalerite is present in prac
tically every vein in the dist
trict, but in the quartz fissure
veins within the Texas Creek
granodiorite that are more
than 1,000 feet from the con
tact of the diorite with the
rocks of the Hazelton group
sphalerite is sparse or is pres
ent only in very local shoots as
sociated with other sulphides.
It is more abundant in veins
i within the Texas Creek grano
! diorite that are not more than
1,000 feet from its contact with
I the Hazelton gioup. In veins in
the Hazelton group sphalerite
is one of the principal miner
als. Usually it is associated
with other sulphides, but local
ly it may form narrow almost
solid stringers. At many places
1 the sphalerite is dark brown
and presumably has consider
able iron in solid solution. At
| other places it is of light resin
| color. The resinous sphalerite
i is usually associated with tet
rahedrite. The gold and silver
content of the sphalerite is ex
ceedingly erratic. In the green
stones of the Hazelton group
and the associated porphyry
dikes the gold content ranges
! from very little to 35 ounces to
! the ton. At the Premier mine
! sphalerite shoots have been
found with a gold content of
60 ounces to the ton. Assay
ing appears to be the only
means known of gaining an
idea as to the amount present.
Chalcopyrite is present in
•practically every vein exam
ined but usually in small
amounts only.
Molybdenite has not been
| found in the normal vein de
posits. It is abundant in an ap- i
lite dike associated with the j
Texas Creek granodiorite on \
i the banks of Fish Creek on J
j Fish Creek No. 2 claim of the
i Mountainview property. In the
! vicinity of" the head of the
West Fork many of the thin:
! quartz veinlets facing frac- j
: tures in the Texas Creek quartz
diorite carry pyrite and molyb
denite. In the vicinity of Green
point Glacier fractures in the
Hyder quartz monzonite ad
jecent to the contact with the
graywacke and slate are coat- j
ed at some places with molyb-1
denite.
Chalmersite was observed in
but one of th° veins in the Hy
der district, where it occurs as
i
%mrn ---»
laths in chalcopyrite associated
with pyrrhotite.
Covellite occurs as a second
ary mineral only, in sparse
veinlets in tetrahedrite, chalco
pyrite, and rarely other miner
als, as a result of weathering
and the action of surface wa
ter.
Marcasite in this area is en
tirely secondary and- is found
locally where it has replaced
pyrrhotite in or near surface
outcrops.
Sulphosalts
Tetrahedrite and freibergite:
Tetrahedrite has been found
in about half the veins exam
ined. Although present in min
or amounts, it is an important
ore mineral because it usually
carries much gold and silver.
Native gold in flakes of micro
scopic size was found in one
specimen. With an increase of
silver content tetrahedrite
grades into freibergite. Most
of the sulphantimonide of cop
per in this district is tetrahed
lite, but freibergite was identi
fied in the veins on Fish Creek
Nos. 2 and 3 claims of the
Mountain View group, the
Olympia claim of the Fish
Creek group, and the Last
Shot group. At all these places
the freibergite is associated
with tetrahedrite.
Arsenopyrite is very rare in
the quartz fissure veins in ei
ther the Texas Creek granodio
rite or the Hazelton group, but
is a common mineral in re
placement deposits in the
greenstone and in vein depos
its parallel to the structure in
the graywacke and slate. It is
usually well crystallized.
Froustite, one of the ruby sil
vers, was identified at a pros
pect pit on Fish Creek No. 2
vein on the Mountain View
property. It is rare here and
occurs as a secondary mineral
in minute veinlets along fract
ures in the ore.
