Capsule Geology

The King Solomon property (a second occurrence of the same name in the region; see 082FNW257)) is at the head of Woodbury Creek, 24 kilometres east of Slocan. Access is from the Kaslo highway on the west shore of Kootenay Lake via the Woodbury Creek road and trail to the Wolf Cascade, southeast of Moonlight Peak. Location of the property is uncertain and could not be confirmed in 1987 mapping. The property is located in Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

Little is known about this property other than it was Crown granted in 1904 to D.A. Nellis. See Black Eagle (082FNW239) for early history. The area is underlain by the granitic rocks of the Nelson batholith.

This property might also be confused with the King Solomon on the west shore of Kootenay Lake (082FNE141).
