GOLDF|ELD DOCTOR
RESUMES PRACTICE

DR. w T. Liggett, one Of the best
known medical practitioners in Ne.
vada, who has been out of the south
ern country for several years, en-
gagged in looking after his mining in
terests in Seven Troughs, has de-
cided to open an office in Tonopah
and resume practice.
DR., Liggett had the largest practice
in Cripple Creek, where he conducted
the only hospital until the building of
one by the sisters and enjoyed the
confidence and esteem Of the citizens
of that camp. In 1902 the doctor
came to Tonopah to investigate the
opportunities, and went into Gold
field, where he remained for eight
years. He was identified with the
growth of that camp, as i had only a
1 single tent when he entered, and re-
NAMED long enough to see it develop
into one Of the finest mining camps
of the world. The doctor has en-
gagged offices at suite 205 in the
Bank building and is now installing
his furniture.
