Hathenbruck also worked for the Denver & Rio Grand Railroad where he served as a Topographer during the building of the railroad over Soldier Summit to Springville to Price. Later he lost his right arm in a mining accident. Because of this he reverted back to his medical background, and also opened a dry good store in territory of Provo, Utah.
During this time Hathenbruck gained a reputation as a gentle, kind and honest physician and business man who held no malice against minorities of mankind, whether they be black, yellow, or red and in fact constantly treated and traded with them even though many could not otherwise afford his services. This generous act on his part quickly gained for him his wide-spread reputation of "The Doctor". He was well- liked especially by the Ute Indians and through his constant dealings with them, both on and off the reservation, he gained a thorough knowledge of their customs and their language. Caleb Rhoades formed a Partnership with Mr. Hathenbruck in the Fall of 1894.
