King Mine
A copper mine SW of Chewelah along Cedar Creek. Located on the western end of the Proterozoic Belt Basin and the Kootenay Arc. The deposit was a quartz vein following the bedding of argillite and schist. Development consisted of a 450' deep shaft with around 1000' of drifting and several open cuts. It produced in 1896, 1904-1906, and 1917.
Structure: Steeply Dipping, Locally Overturned, West Limb Of A Northward-Plunging Anticline.
Deposit: Vein is silicified zone As much As 30 ft thick in which area a principal vein 1/2 to 9 ft thick with many narro W stringers of quartz. Principal vein minerals are quartz with subordinate amounts of light-colored carbonate, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and tennantite.
Development: Mine dewatered in 1956 but no mining was done.
Geology: In general area there are anomalous amounts of base metals in dolomite adjacent to mafic dikes.
Rock formation(s): Edna Dolomite
Ore(s): Ore Might Be Genetically Related To Mafic Dike.
