Trip Across the
U. S. by Plane
T e fo lowing interesting letter
was received by the Nome Nug
get in the last mail, from the
United Air Lines,which describes
an amazing adventure of an Alas
kan sourdough:
Back from the amazing adven
ture of his first trip out of Alaska
in 2fi years, Maino Kaskinen, a
sourdough miner,is enroute home
to the northern territory to hunt
more gold.
Kaskinen arrived in Seattle
aboard a United Air Lines plane
March 15, following a round trip
bv plane and steamer to Finland,
Norway, Sweden. France and
England. When he arrived in
Seattle from Alaska last Septem
ber he stayed rather close to his
hotel, bewildered by the city’s
traffic and noise, hesitant about
crossing busy streets. On his re
turn he might almost be called a
travel sophisticate, having surviv,
ed the traffic and crowds of New1
York and London, having ridden
on subw’avs, elevateds’ and rub
ber-neck buses and otherwise

having experienced the thrills of
his first trip “outside" in more
than a quarter of a century.
Mr. Kaskinen flew xia United
Air Lines to New York, crossed
the Atlantic on the steamer Ber-1
gensfjord, visited relatives in Fin
land, toured various European
cities, returned across the Atlan
tic on the Queen Mary and flew
back to Seattle where he is re
maining for about two weeks be
fore starting north. His latest
'trip from England to Seattle was
made in six days as compared to
168 days required in 1903 when,,
as an able-bodied seaman, he tra
veled on the full-rigged sailing
ship Rajore from Liverpool to
Portland, Ore. Having sold his
hydraulic gold mine at Flat, Al
aska, before starting his journey,
he will prospect for new diggings.
“And I won’t wait another 26 j
years to visit the States', he said
in Seattle. “There’s too much to
see down here!”
