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)
A part of the mountain ridge
on the north side of Texas
Glacier is capped by a narrow
band of argellite, which is in
truded on the south by the Tex
as Creek granodiorite and on
the north by the Boundary
granodiorite. Part of this band
of argillite lies directly above
the first ice cascades met in go
ing up Texas Glacier from Tex
as Creek. The mountain slopes
in this vicinity deserves careful
surface prospecting.
The core or central area of
the Texas Creek batholith be
tween Casey and Gray Glac
iers on the west and Salmon
River on the east and between
the West Fork on the north
and the Hyder quartz monzo
! nite on the south is relatively
ineccessible and has been only
j slightly prospected. No miner
al deposits of importance have
| been located within it, but
whether the reason is that little
or no mineralization has. oc
curred within the core of the
batholith or that the area has
been so little prospected is not
known. In making a quick
! trip up Thumb Creek the writ
! er picked up several pieces of
good float consisting of quartz
I heavily mineralized with gal
| ena and a little pyrite. Theo
| retically, however, it is to be
; expected that the borders of
the batholith near the older
rocks would be more favorable
zones for the occurrence of ore
bodies than the interior core.
In prospecting the core of the
batholith the portions at the
higher altitudes should be pros
pected most carefully.
On the south the Texas Creek
batholith is in contact with and
is intruded by the Hyder
! quartz monzonite, which is be
{lioved to be younger than the
| ore deposits. This contact is
I therefore wholly dissimilar to
the contacts of the Texas Creek
batholith with the older rocks
of the Hazelton group and, so
far as our knowledge goes, is
I as unfavorable for prospecting j
j as any other part of the core of i
' the Texas Creek batholith.
Where large milky-white ■
quartz veins with little or prac
tically no sulphides are found
their foot and hanging walls i
should be carefully examined !
for shoots of ore, for there may !
have been later movements!
between the vein and its in
closing rocks that afforded
places favorable for the intro
duction of subsequent sulphide }
solutions. Quartz veins carry- i
ing green chlorite or calcite, or
both, have been found locally |
in the Hazelton group and in
the Texas Creek granodiorite,
but none of them were miner
alized.
The continuity of the veins
!
and the quality of their miner
alization are, of course, most
important considerations. The
veins are of intermediate to
deep-seated type, and the
chances are therefore good
that the stronger vein's in the
granodiorite and graywacke,
which have been traced on the
surface for several hundred
feet and more will persist in
depth for at least several hund
red feet, the depth being prob
ably in similar proportion to
the length. A few veins are ex
posed in natural section for
depths of 500 to 700 feet, but
mining developments have not
yet followed veins down for
more than a few hundred feet.
The slate alone is unfavorable
for the formation of strong
continuous veins, but along the
cntact between a thick massive
graywacke bed, or series of
graywacke beds, and a slate
formation conditions are more
favorable. The data are insuf
ficient to warrant a generaliz
ation as to the usual conditions
where the veins pass down
from overlying graywacke and
slate into the Texas Creek
granodiorite. On the Texas
Comstock property several
veins were observed to cross
the contact and go deep down
into the quartz diorite without
diminuation in size. The known
length and depth of a number
of the veins and their arrange
ment in a definite system indi
cate that they occupy fissures
which are not of a gash sype.
The mineralized veins are
known to occur through a ver
tical range of over 5,000 feet.
The ore minerals are almost
exclusively primary, and only
traces of enrichment have been
found. From these facts it i3
highly probable that the same
general quality and quantity of
mineralization which is shown
at the surface in the vein as a
whole will be found to persist
in depth unless the character
and kind of rock changes in
depth, and that any change in
mineralization occurring in
depth must be due to peculiari
ties of original deposition.
To be Concluded Next Week.
Continued next week.
