Clarence W. Rowley was a successful Boston lawyer who represented both William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody and boxing champion John L. Sullivan. Early in his career, Rowley ran for a seat on the Boston Common Council. A circular promoting his candidacy to voters of Ward 18 noted that he was a "self-made man" whose family had resided in New England "for more than two centuries."
An investor in several mining and oil ventures in the West, Rowley was an officer, major stockholder, and chief legal representative for the Cody-Dyer Arizona Mining and Milling Company in Oracle, Arizona. When the company dissolved after financial troubles in 1911, Rowley and Cody founded the High Jinks Gold Mining Company to recoup losses. Rowley was also involved in the Southern Belle gold mining company in Arizona and the Montezuma Silver Mine Corporation in Goldfield, Nevada, and had some association with the Cripple Creek mine in Colorado.
Rowley maintained a friendship with Cody, and toured the West at his invitation in 1911. He was also business partners with John L. Sullivan, becoming Secretary and Treasurer of the John L. Sullivan Motion Picture Company when it was incorporated in 1917. He served as executor of Sullivan's estate after Sullivan's death in 1918.
