M. HARDIN.—He is a native of Bergen, New Jersey, where he was born in August,
1819. In the following year his parents removed to Guernsey county, Ohio, where
he remained until 1851, when he came to California, via the Isthmus, arriving in
San Francisco in November. He mined at Auburn, Placer county, until the spring
of 1852, and then spent a year searching for auriferous deposits on the Feather
river. He then began mining around Iowa hill, and continued there four years,
when he went on the Yuba, and mined for one year. In 1857 he came to Sierra
valley, and has since lived on his ranch of 240 acres, a mile and a half north
of Sierraville.
