The regions to which Bering’s last labors gave Russia the first
title are at the present time the object of much newspaper comment.
His last expedition, the few survivors of which brought home
costly skins that evinced the great wealth of the newly
discovered lands, opened up to the Russian fur-hunter an El Dorado that
still continues to be a most profitable field of pursuit, now
vigilantly watched by the jealous eyes of rival nations.

                                                                                Julius E. Olson.

        Madison, Wis.
