R. \. FULTON
 1S FOUND DEAD OUT IN DESERT
Mining Promoters Life Is Ended in Unknown Way
 After Visit to Mine in Interest of Litigation

The body of R. H. Fulton. mining promoter. was found on the desert six miles west of the Santa Fe pumping station on the Agua Fria yesterday morning. The discovery was ra@H hv two women who were driving to Pres- cott and by mistake took thtt out-oi- the-way road. The body lay on its back under a bush. The shoes had been removed and by the body lay an empty canteen. That circumstance suggested that death was the common one of thirst, which has overtaken so many people on the desert in midsum- mer.
 A report of the discovery was made to Justice of the Peace Patterson of Glendale precinct, who held an inquest which resulted in verdict that Fulton had died of unknown causes. He was probably not overcome by thirst; the body lay in the position of one about to take a rest. Though an apparently robust man it is believed that Fulton was not in good health. The body was left in charge of Mohn x Driscoll
 Of late Fulton had been much in the public eye by reason of transactions in mining stocks in alleged violation of the law and two cases against him had been sent to the superior court for trial. Early last week he called on Justice De Souza with reference to an action in replevin of some mining ma chinery on a property in the White Tanks mountains and he said that be- fore he began the action he would visit the property for an inspection of. the machinery. He had been to the mine and was on his way back when he was overtaken by death.
 Fulton was about AS years of age and had been resident of Arizona for about three years. He was a man of good address. and education. He is supposed to have been college man.
