Samuel John Booth, mason and successful gold prospector, British Columbia, 1880-1900

Description:: Samuel John Booth was a resident of Victoria, B.C., from c. 1858 to 1917. One of four black prospectors who formed a company to mine gold at Leechtown (Leech River) in 1864, he became quite prosperous. The regalia that he wears is probably American and may not even be masonic. It is not the style of regalia worn in the jurisdiction of British Columbia and there is no record of his membership in Grand Lodge records. There was also no masonic affiliation noted in his obituary. It is probable that he was a member of a Prince Hall lodge before he moved to Victoria.
