Hatton first arrived in Goldfield in 1904, about a year after the discovery of gold in the bone-dry desert. Hatton, who was born in Wichita, Kansas was then a young lawyer who had been sent to the Grand Canyon to check mineral prospects for his employer. With the news of gold in Nevada, his employer urged him on to Goldfield to get a report on the mining activity. Goldfield was a vibrant growing city and Hatton wisely decided to practice law there and sent in his report, and his resignation to his employer. He relied on personal experience in mining and geology to take on cases for the mining companies. His wife Mary was Goldfield's first school teacher and they were well known residents involved in community affairs and services. In 1917 Mr. Hatton left Goldfield for Los Angeles but he could not stay away from Nevada and returned to Tonopah to continue his law practice.
