VICTORIA, Oct. J. Mrs. Jean Olive Dunsmulr, Canada's richest woman. died of heart failure this mornilng at Cralgdarroch, the castle residence on a height overlooking the city, where she lived In solitary grandeur at the age of 81 years. She was estranged from her son. Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmulr, whom she was suing to recover the share of her husband's estate to which she considered her daughters entitled at the time of her death. She came to the North Pacific Coast In a sailing ship of the Hudson's Bay Company with her husband and two children, landing at Fort Vancouver, ash.. In leol where Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmulr was born. Her husband, the late Robert Duns mulr, was an expert Scotch coalmaster and he was sent to Fort Rupert, at the north end of Vancouver Island, to open up coal measures there. These were abandoned and he went to Nanaimo, Fifteen vears after he discovered the Wellington coal measures, after much prospecting, making his find of outcrop ping beneath an upturned root far In the forest, and the operation of these coal measures. In which Admiral Farquhar, of the Esquimau naval station. Captain Egerton and Lieutenant Diggle, after ward bought out, were then interested, laid the foundation of the immense for tune, valued at over 316,000,000 left Mrs. Dunsmulr. Quarrel With Her Sons. When he died In 1889, soon after completing the Esquimau & Nanaimo Railway, which he planned to continue to the north end of Vancouver Island, had he lived, his sons, Lieutenant-Gov ernor Dunsmulr and the late Alexander Dunsmulr, began a negotiation with their mother to purchase the estate with its many subsidiary businesses, and a few years afterward the whole business was turned over to them for 3400,000. The action pending when Mrs. Dunsmulr died alleged the sons se cured her consent by misrepresentation and fraud, while Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmulr's denial Bays It is good man agement that made the business so sue cessful since taking It over. The two brothers arranged that the survivor should get the entire estate and, when Alexander Dunmulr died, ho willed It to the Lieutenant-Governor, who had to defend an expensive suit brought by Edna Wallace Hopper, whose mother became Alex Dunsmulr's wife, seeking to break her stepfather's will, in which she was unsuccessfuL Estranged From Her Son. The present litigation promised to be long drawn out and whether It will be carried on by the daughters who side with their mother. Is not known. There was much feeling between the Lieutenant- Governor and his mother and a few years ago, when she was thought to be dying and he was summoned, he went to a gar den party Instead. Some time afterwards he made the only visit during a number of years past, remaining but one minute. Of the members of her family she Is survived by James Dunsmulr, Lieutenant- Governor of the province, Mrs. Henry Croft, of this city, Mrs. Burroughs, who spent several months here, leaving a short time ago for England.
