RICHEST WOMAN
IN CANADA DIES
Mrs. Joan Dunsmuir, Aged so
Years, Expires in Victoria
After Long Illness

VICTORIA, Z. c.. Oct Mrs. Jeane
Olive Dunsmuir. Canada's richest
woman, died of heart failure today at
Craig Darroch, the residence on a
height overlooking the city, where she
lived in solitary grandeur. She had
long been estranged from her son,
Lieutenant Governor Dunsmuir. who
she was suing to recover the share of
her husbands estate to which she con-
Sidered her daughters were entitled.
Mrs. Dunsmuir came to the north Pa
cific coast in sailing snip of the Hud-
son Bay company with her husband
and two children in 1851. Her husband.
the late Robert Dunsmuir, was a Scotch
coal miner, and he was sent to Port
Rupert at the north end of Vancouver
island to open up coal measures there.
These were abandoned and he went to
Nanaimo.
Fifteen years later ne discovered the
Wellington coal measures. The opera
ton of these coal mines laid the found
alton of the fortune-more than $15.-
600 ,000-left Mrs. Dunsmuir.
When Dunsmuir died in 1889 his sons,
Lieutenant Governor Dunsmuir and the
late Alexander Dunsmuir, began nego-
tiations with their mother to purchase
the estate with it's many subsidiary
branches. q few years later the whole
business was turned over to them for
S400, 900. Mrs. Dunsmuir alleged the
sons secured her consent by misrepre-
sentation and fraud. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dunsmuir says that it is good
management that made the business SO
successful
The two brothers arranged that the
survivor should get the entire estate.
When Alexander Dunsmuir died he
willed it to the lieutenant governor.

A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR OFFICE.

You can't always tell what will
happen, says an exchange. For in
stance, here is story of man de-
termined to commit suicide. He went
to the store and bought a rope, can
of oil, box of matches, dose OF
arsenic and revolver. He went down
to the river and pushed his boat from
the shore and padded down to where
limb hung over the water and he
got up in the bow of the boat and tied
one end of the rope to the limb and
theother around his neck. he satur.
ated his clothing with coal oil and
lighted match and set his clothing
afire, took a dose of arsenic, put the
muzZle of the revolver to his temple
and pulled the trigger. But the bullet
glanced and cut the rope above him
and he fell kerwallop into the river
and the water put out the fire and
got strangled and coughed up the
arsenic-and he rose up and waded
out and declared himself a candidate
for office on the Democratic ticket.
