Of the firm of Turner & Sanborn, is a modest, industrious, and, consequently, promising young man. He 
was born in 1856, and received such education as could be obtained in the town of Jackson, until he 
was fifteen years old. He made the most of his opportunities, and, at the close of his school days, 
commenced a regular course of reading, political economy being a favorite study. He is steady and 
reliable, never having been given- to the dissipations so common to the young men in California, or, in 
other words, he never took time to sow any wild oats, but went directly to work improving his mind. 
In 1879 he became connected with H. S. Turner in the management of the Jackson Sentinel, and is now 
part proprietor. He is a brilliant and forcible writer, and has a promising future.
