Privategrounds are not open except upon permission of the owner, but usuallythis can be obtained on proper application. There is no lack of unoccupiedand public grounds, and sport is by no means at the mercy of DUSKY Obscurus. Fine large bags are easily made. Out of Placerville into the foothills,deer are plentiful, and a more extended excursion into the mountains willadd bear to your trophies. Trout streams well stocked are also foundwith the bear and deer. The foothills are covered by a growth of under-brush with oaks, pines, laurel and buckeye. The mountains are heavilyforested in sugar, yellow and white pine, and a great variety of cypresses,cedars, spruce and hemlocks. Any reasonable wish for sport with eitherrod or gun can be had by a visit of a week or two in famed El Dorado. [ 15 J
