BERKELEY HILLS
IS ONCE A
(By Associated Press)
BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. 14.—That a
volcano once burst out In the Ber
keley hills, has now been proved by
the University of California.
This volcano spilled molten rock
all the way from Berkeley to a point
five miles south of Hayward. Later
a long succession of earthquakes took
place, caused by shiftings of vast
blocks in the earth’s crust. Thus
great rifts and faults were torn in
this lava bed. Then the water of
storms and springs percolated
through these earthquake fissures m
the rocks, and deposited a great var
iety of minerals. Such was the orl-'
gin of Oakland’s unusual mining in
dustry—the mining of pyrlte at Le-‘
ona. as a material from which to make!
sulphuric acid. These stirring events'
in the past geological history of the.
Berkeley hills are told in a [taper by!
Clifton W. Clark on “The Geology and j
Ore Deposits of the Leona Rhyolit,”
just issued in the University of Cali
fornia Publication in Geology.
Clark points out that huge blocks
in the earth's crust have slipped re-1
peatedly along the Hayward fault, a >
line of cleavage between blocks of!
the earth’s surface, running from
Berkeley southeast along the base!
of the steep slopes of the Berkeley j
hills from the neighborhood of thej
Greek theatre on the university cam
pus at Berkeley on to Hamilton gulch,
at the head of Dwight way. in Ber
keley, where the extruded rhyolite—
the volcanic rock—first shows, on
past the Berkeley institution for the
deaf and the blind and the Claremont,
hotel, on through a rift valley from
Temescal lake to a point southeast
of Leona heights then southerly;
further on, up Arroyo Viejo creek,
southeast through a saddle on the F.
C. Talbot ranch, connecting wdth the
oblique fault west of Lake Chabot.j
and on through several saddles andj
breaks in the western slope of the
hills to the town of Hayward. Slip
I pings of the earth's crust along this
fault line still occur from time to
time. The rainwater and spring wa-j
ters of countless centuries, percolat- J
ing downward through the old lava
deposit, through fractures caused by
slippings on the earthquake fault, i
carried pyrite downwards, and caused j
the deposit of considerable accumula-i
'
tions of this pyrite. For a number of
years mining has gone on and is con-,
tinuing of such deposits of pyrite, I
i
near Leona heights, east of Oakland.;
The ore is found in a fracture zone'
in the rhyolite—the volcano rock—
which is joined and faulted so that
considerable quantities of gouge and j
small displacements may be seen j
nearly everywhere in the mine, with \
abundant evidence of much intense'
fracturing that originally caused the |
localization of the ore body. Associat-1
ed with the pyrite are a number of
other minerals, including chalcopy
rite, copper, melanterite, pisanlte,
chalcocite, bomite and sphalerite.
None of these minerals in the Leona
rhyolite except the pyrite is of any j
present economic importance.
The lodest rocks in this region of
the Berkeley hills, according to Clark,
are sandstones, basalts, and other!
rocks of the “Franciscan group.”
Above these “Franciscan” deposits
are several hundred feet of the Lower
Cretaceous or Knoxville formation,
originally laid down far beneath the
sea, and then the Chico Cretaceous,
which represents a submarine deposit
of thousands of feet in depth of sand
stones and shales. A vast period of
'time then passed during which the
hills were raised above the sea and
then most of these once submarine
deposits washed away by eruption.
Then came the volcanic action which
poured the Leona rhyolite for twenty
miles along what is now the front of
j th« Berkeley hills,
