Columbia & Mountain King Claims
Sec 35 T32N R43E
Structure: Folding Thrust Faults Ne-Trending Faults; Nw-Trending Faults
Alteration: Silicification Of Quartzite & Shale
Deposit: Vein, replacement in fault zone discovered about 1870. The deposits were known in 1871, and were worked by several people since then. In 1912, 3 claims on the strike of the deposit were owned by j. M. Pine. Property was developed by several shafts on the crest of the ridge, 50 to 100 ft. Deep, and numerous shallow cuts and shafts and tunnels in the gulches on either side of the ridge. Some production in 1871 and from 1939 to 1941 ; info.src : 1 pub lit
Deposit type: Simple Sb (veins, pods, etc)
Development: SOME PRODUCTION IN 1871 AND 1939-1941.
Geology: Vein cuts both quartzite and shale. Vein is 2 ft. Wide in quartzite, but opens out to a 8 to 10 ft. Zone of crushed mineralized rock when it passes into the shale. Most of the stibnite is in dark-grey quartz veins.
Rock formation(s): Scott Canyon Formation
Ore(s): Fracture Zone, Breccia Zone
