MINING DISTRICT

HYDER MINING DISTRICT
By Prof. A. F. Buddington

Type Of Veins
Strike and Dip
' Observations on the strike and
dip of 125 veins in the district
'■ were obtained. Almost half of
'■ the veins strike N. 30°-60° W.
• and dip 45°-70° E. One-fifth
of the veins strike between
north and N. 30" W. and dip
45°-70° E., and another fifth
strike within about 15° of east
west. A few veins have dif
ferent strikes. Veins with
strikes between N.30° E. and
N. 75" E. are rare. In the Tex
as Creek granodiorite about
two-thirds of the veins strike
;N. 30°-60° W.; in the gray
j wacke, tuff, slate, and green
, stone about half the veins
strike N.75 ’ E. to N.70° W. j
—that is, parallel to the eleav-1
age or schistose structure or to i
i the bedding planes.
The northwestward-striking
I veins in the Texas Creek gran-!
j odiorite are oriented at angles
! of about 45°-70° to the gneissic
j structure. Within the West
Fork area the strike of the
gneissic structure averages
about N. 403 W.; east of Sal
mon River'the gneissic struct
ure averages about N. 85" E.
and the northwest veins about
i N. 50° W. These northwest
ward-striking veins and the
■ veins that strike between N.
35° E. and N. 30° W. not only
cut across the grain or struct
I ure of the Texas Creek batho
i _ i
lith but also across the bedding
or structure of the sediment
ary and volcanic i*ocks. They
are all fissure veins. The east
ward group of veins in the sed
imentary and volcanic rocks,
on the contrary, are approxi
mately parallel to the bedding
or cleavage and were formed
both by fissure filling and by
partial or complete replace
ment of the country rock.
Several brtts or areas may be
defined in which the strike of
the veins shows a clear uni
formity or systematic group
ing. One such area lies be
tween Salmon River and the in
ternational boundary, south of
the junction between Texas
Creek and Salmon River and
noith of the Hyder quartz mon
zonite. In the Texas Creek
granodiorite of this area two
groups of veins predominate
and are about equal in num
ber: One group strikes N.50°
60° W. and dips 45°-70° E.;
the other strikes N. 10°-30 W
and dips similarly 45°170° E.
The small percentage of veins
that differ strike north, N. 80°
W., or N. 60J-80n E. East of
Salmon River in the sheared
sedimentary and volcanic rocks
there are two groups and types
of veins. One group consists of
metalliferous veins similar in
type to those found in the Tex
as Creek granodiorite, and oc
curring as fissure fillings in

the rocks. Some of these veins
lie along the contacts of the
dikes of granodiorite porphyry
with the country rock or with
in the dikes. Almost all of
these veins strike N. 40'1-60°
W. and dip 45°-60° NE.,
though a few dip southwest.
The veins of the other group lie
more or less parallel to the fol
iation or slaty structure of the
rocks and consist of replace
ment and disseminated depos
its and fissure fillings. They
strike almost uniformly be
tween N. 80° E. and N. 70°
W.; about half of them strike
east-west.'They may dip either
south or north, though a south
ward dip is more common.
Between Salmon River and
Texas Creek, north of their
junction, is an area in which
the strike of the veins within
the Texas Creek granodiorite,
: so far as observed, shows no
uniformity or system. The
strike is N. 10°-20° W., N. 70°
80° W„ or N.70° E. A belt in
which the veins in general
.1 ike between N.5° W. and N.
35° E. was noted in the vicin
ity of Casey Glacier and Ibex
Gulch. Here the veins dip east,
most commonly at angles of
40°-70°.

ALASKA NOTES
Joseph W. Spink ended his
life at Talkeetna recently by
sending a bullet from a .22 cal
ibre rifle through his brain.
Despondency is believed to
have caused his act. He was 48
years old and formerly lived in
the Fairbanks district.
Reports from Kodiak say is
has been learned there that
two large tracts of land com
prising an area of 30 square
miles, have been acquired by a
party of capitalists who plan
to stock the land with large
herds of sheep and cattle next
spring. Owing to the huge
bears which inhabit the island,
herdsmen will be equipped
with high powered rifles to
cope with the beasts.
J. Frank Calbreath, pioneer
trader and packer of Tele
graph Creek, B. C., succumbed
to a long illness which ended a
paralytic stroke February 6,
according to word received in
Wrangell late last month. He
is survived by four children, all
grown.
