Edward L. Doheny – Mining Consultant in Silver City
Lead
Doheny arrived in Kingston as a young man, where he taught school and worked in the mines alongside Albert Bacon Fall [2][1]. By June 1890, he advertised his services from an office over Crawford’s Store in Silver City, offering to examine mining properties, handle patent applications, and advise on obtaining U.S. patents for mineral lands [1]. His early partnership with Fall foreshadowed their later involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal, which resulted in Fall’s imprisonment [2][1].
