STRONG LAW FIRM AT GOLDFIELD

Goldheld stock exchange, and to him
Is due the Goldfeld board OF trade. He
Is one of those restless characters that
cannot stand in one place for any
length of time, and progress has always
been his slogan When he found that
the town was without any fire protec-
tion, that It might be swept out of ex-
istence on account of the carelessness
of some "tenter" at any moment, he
started the organization Of the Gold
field fire department, and is one of it's
active members today. Even his best
friends, those who know him best,
those who have been associated in bus
mess with him for years, marvel at his
success i'm organizing, and that he finds
time to help friends when It Is not of
his pecuniary interest. Today, i'm the
office, he Is known to be the INSIDE
man." and that means the one who plans
legal battles, who arranges the data,
who smoothes out the wrinkles in the
case for the man who will plead the
cause, to have ready at hand as a mon
itor any decision viewing on the sub
ject that will bring success. While he
has thousands of friends in the gold
camps, his career has been noted by
thousands of Interested people way
back in "Injiany." where his early life
was spent. After his graduation he
cast his eye over the country for a To-
to believe that full success would be
his in the far west, and the success at
tained has fully proved his decision, to
have been good one.
Eloquent and Logical
In p. F. Carney, his partner in the
business, a man noted for his fiery elo-
quence and his cool manner of con-
Quoting the trial and pleading of min
- 4
ment that is always convincing, is a
most interesting character i'm the life
Of Goldfeld. He is better known as a
trial lawyer. Mr. Carney comes of a
long line Of legal men, some of them
celebrated in the legal field during the
days of the Civil War. A New Yorker
by birth, he early saw that Colorado
was a good field for budding genius,
and he went forth into that state in
search of fortune. He wanted action,
and he found all that he wanted. He
saw that he had selected a place in
which he could match his wits against
others of equal ability, and soon after
his arrival in the state he entered the
law university of Colorado at Boulder,
graduating the highest in his class.
After graduation he lost no time in
getting into active practice, and gained
sufficient fame to secure him place in
the firm of Patterson, Richardson &
Hawkins, with whom he remained for
several years, indeed UP to the time of
his coming to Goldfield to enter into
partnership with his old-time friend,
Milton NJ. Detch. He was valuable to
the firm in knowing large number of
the Colorado men who were in the camp
in promotion business and active min
ing operations, and they in turn were
glad to receive a man so capable of
taking care of their legal interests;
and it can be said that early upon his
arrival he had much to do in straight
ening out complicated law suits that
involved millions or dollars. The firm
has upon it's books many large corpo-
rations to whose legal business it has
given careful attention, and among
others may be noted the Tonopah &
Goldfield and the Las Vegas & Tonopah
Railroad companies, She Nevada Power,
Mining and Milling company and the
San Francisco board of trade. Includ-
ed in the numerous lists of the mining
corporations of note, the Gibraltar
