HUNTER B. SUPPLEE, MINING man,
DIED AT PHILADELPHIA APRIL 3
EXTENSIVE INTERESTS IN MIN.
ING PROPERTIES IN ELK CITY
DISTRICT BEING PRESIDENT
OF BLACK PINE co.

The news of the death of Hunter b.
Supplee, one of the well known and in
terested mining men of Idaho County
was received last week. He died in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at 2:30 a.
m. Monday, April 3, 1916. The dispatch
which told of his death was received in
Sites last week. The deceased has
been troubled with rheumatism and
heart trouble, and it is supposed that
this was the cause of the death He
had been i'll for about ten days and his
wife and only daughter, Mrs. G.. G. Nitz,
of Elk City, were at the bedside.
Mr.. Supplee was ill for several weeks
at the Hotel Spokane last December
en- route to his former home in Phila.
delphia. He came west in 1910 and op-
Grated the Hope mine, Elk City, under
bond for Schuyler Simmons, owner, re-
signing in 1911, He removed to Ne
vada and spent two years there, re-
turning to Elk City in 1913. He be-
came manager of the Black Pine Mi
ming company, which he organized.
The principal stockholders are Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City capitalists.
He served as manager until last Jan
uary, when he was elected president.
Mr.. Supplee was aged about AS. Burial
was at his former home in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Supplee was heavily interested in
mining properties in the Elk City min
ing district and last year was financ-
ing power project financed with east
ern capital to furnish power for min
ing and other purposes. He was the
president and general manager of the
Black Pine Mining Company which
owned the Black Pine group near Elk
City. On this property development
work has been pushed up to the pres
ent time under the direction of Mr..
Supplee.
He has had great influence in as
sisting in the development of mining
in Idaho county and especially in the
Elk City and surrounding districts. He
was influential in bringing in eastern
money and had he lived would soon
have realized the success of the plans
that he has been so active in promot-
ing. His place will be hard to fill for
his labors have been of much good, as
much is not more than any man who is
interested in the county.

GHIID SEIZED FROM YARD OF KARI
| STEIN HOME AND TAKEN TO Sites

one who saw The Purchase Price were
highly pleased and speak so warmly in
praise of the evenings performance
The Actors.
The comedy part of the play was
strongly represented by DR.. Frank r
Wood as Tommy Upton, chap who
had ideas of his own, and his work
brought out the real hearty laugh of a
pleased person, and the requirements
necessitated constant work throughout
the play from the beginning to the last
act. His efforts would naturally prove
nonotonous if he had too much of a
sameness and merely relied on the fun
in his laughts, and here is where Frank
added some ability that made the lines
effective throughout.
Mrs. Harris at Best.
Frank was well supported in the
quick naturalness of Mrs. Harold Har-
ris who gave splendid characterize
tion of her part as the wife of Tommy
Upton, the man of ideas. Her part re-
quired more than mere comedy and
some of the emotional, but she was fully
equal to the requirements to make her
work effective. Mrs. Harris has always
pleased in appearance in the past and
her efforts Friday evening added to her
honors.
Mrs. Brust had Heavy Part.
The part of Mrs. Lamona Brust re-
quired emotional work and in this re-
gard the part placed heavy require
ments upon her and she fully measured
up to these, doing some acting that
must be highly praised and which
showed in its effect ON the audience.
If we were to choose the most difficult
part in the play, requiring the greatest
efforts and ability, this would be
chosen.
Harold Scored Success.
To Mr.. Harold Harris was also assign
ed part that required great versa
tility, running from the emotional to
the laughable. In act two Harold did
some work that he has never duplicated
in any previous performance, and that
alone would give him honor enough had
there been no other requirements to tax
his ability. Throughout the play he
made master effort which was repaid
in results and appreciative applause.
To him the greatest of praise must be
given. The writer has seen Harold s
WOTh OH SCNCld PlONiouo oSSoo'oSj pNe
he appeared at his best this last time.
Glib Eimers, the Colored Gentleman.
Glib Eimers, as George Albertus Jones'
colored butler, caused some hearty
laughs on his every appearance. There
was no exaggeration of his characteri
cation but the laughter producing was
the result of Gib's ability and the per
feet Interpretation of his part. Miss
Virginia Branscombe, as Josephine, 9
maid, appeared-at her best and although
this required less of her real ability
vet she showed her ability to handle
the more difficult.
The Friar's Club besides pleasing IN
the efforts represented in the last play
itself performs a service to the com
munity in giving it some dramatic WORK
that is missed in Grangeville on account
of the rareness of high class visiting
shows. And although the club does moi
claim the ability of professionals yet
it may honestly be said that the Ell
forts of the performers in The Purchase
Price showed ability far above that OF
visiting troups on regular tours.
