In the 1860s he did some writing for the Dramatic Chronicle (or some similar 
name, if that's not it), which I believe *became* today's Chronicle. But I 
don't know of any connection that paper had to Hearst. As far as I know, the 
only San Francisco paper he ran during his lifetime was the Examiner, which 
his father had bought sometime in the 1880s. Hearst later acquired papers in 
Chicago, New York and elsewhere, so it's possible that Mark Twain did write 
for one of his papers at some point, but I don't believe he wrote anything 
for a San Francisco paper owned by Hearst.
