MINER WAS WELL KNOWN
Owned First Quo,tz Claim
Patented In OREGON.

Horace Worcester, the aged miner
who committed suicide here recently
is said to be we'll known mining
man, and is said to have possessed
the first claim ever patented in Ore
gon.
This claim Is said to be located on
Granite Greek, not far from the
Magnolia, and was worked by Wor-
cester, who employed an arrastre al
far back as the early '70s A promi-
nent Baker City mining man wrote
to Worcester shortly before the lat
ter's death, asking him for terms on
the property. He received a reply
that $4,000 was the least it could be
purchased for, but Worcester added
that he did not really care to part
with the claim as it was yielding
him comfortable income, ard he
rather discouraged the sale.
Worcester was especially we'll known
among the pioneer miners Of the state,
and by them was oodrially liked.
Why he should commit suicide, is
more than any Of them can tell. The
mine he left is said to be in bad

for long time, and the workings
