In the old days they did. You still find some priests (usually MUCH older and rather traditional and conservative in their views) who would do so, but they are becoming more and more rare. It seems to me a silly thing to do and rather pointless, but that's the liturgist in me speaking who insists that the liturgies of the mass are to be "the work of the people."
I have known some priests who choose to say mass daily. What usually happens is that they offer to say mass at a neighboring church or a convalescent home or something like that.

No. The bible says that the Lord is there when there are 2 or more people present. So how can the Lord be in the Eucharist if the priest is only there... and trust me it has never happen... i went once at 7 on a tuesday morning and there were like 30 people...

I knew a non-Catholic who went to a Catholic Church because it was the only one available one Sunday morning. Their was a blizzard going on and they walked in late. The priest had already started the mass and no one was there but him.

It's kinda like the tree falling in the forest if no one is there.
