YoRREoN, Durango, Mex, June 9.-J. N. Har-
bin, an American, with long white beard and
feeble step. applied at the ofice OF j. N. Poston,
United States Consular Agent here, yesterday for
shelter and food. Ho said that for ninet years
he had been living In Mexico. Itis tho old story of
q futile search for great riches. Mr.. Harbin was
born In jackson county, Tenn, seventy-seven
years ago. and went 10 California in 1s44. He
says that he became associated with the late
Senator Hearst In mining and business ventures.
He made considerable money, and in 1873 ho
came to Mexico as representative OF company
of California capitalists seeking mining invest
mcnts in the country. Ho located the st.
Marcos and Socorro silver mines, State of
Durango, for his company.
These two mines proved very rich and mado
fortune for the company owning them. After
clearing up 100000 Mr.. Hardin withdrew
from the company and located the vaca mino
for himself. He purchased mining machinery In
tho United States and began tho development Of
his property on q large scale. just rs 6 fortune
was in sight the mine became flooded with
water and he met with serious accident, which
confined him to his bed for many months. The
water could not be controlled, and things went
from bad to worse until all his money was gone.
These misfortunes disheartened him 20 greatly
that he thought II would be better for his family
and old friends to think him dead, and the re-
port reached his wife and two children In Fresno,
Cal, fifteen years ago that he had died Of noun
tain fever.
When his health had improved Mr. Harbin
went into the hoart of the rugged Sierra Madre
Mountains, 200 miles from the railroad south
west Of tho city OF Durango. He found o cavern,
whore ho has since lived the life of o hermit.
oubsistinR ON wild RaIno and vegetables which
ho cultivated.
Ten weeks ago an American ore buyer for the
International Smelling and Refining Company
was making Q trip to remote mining camps In
tho Sierra Madres when ho came across the
abode Of Mr.. Harbin by the sido Of o mountain
trail. He spent night with the old man, who
told his remarkable story. The ore buyer urged
the old man TO return TO his family and friends
in California This the hermit said he would do.
but he had no money.
Returning TO the city Of durango tho orc
buyer telographed the news that Mr.. Harbin
was alive and wanted to return home to q
ceived from tho hermit's son. who autographed

brought to Durango and a through ticket to
Fresno was bought for him.
Being yory feeble. his ticket was either lost
or stolen here. and he was put OF the train.
His son was notified and the money for another
ticket was forwarded. Tho old man 10 now
