GOOD SEASON
 IS REPOR TED
 FROM EAGLE
Deputy Collector Hillard Says Good Cleanup in
 Chicken Creek Area

The past season has been an es- pecially good one in the Eagle dis trict, according to J. J. Hillard, Deputy Collector of Customs, who returned to the Juneau office after five months in charge of customs work at Eagle. He will remain here during the winter MT. Hillard went north on the initial flight of the PAA plane from here to Fairbanks last May.
 All mining activities in the dis trict were reported with ample supply of water during the sum- mer, he said, and the Chicken Creek area had particularly good cleanup.
 While hundreds of reports and clues have been run down in con- nection with the disappearance of the Hines plane last summer while enroute from Dawson to Fairbanks. nothing has been found of the ship which carried the pilot. Arthur Hines, MT. and Mrs. John Lonz and Alton G. Nordale, he said. One of the prevailing theories, Hillard recounted which might develop is that the plane may have gone down in the midst of four especially rugged peaks in the Chicken area which have such deep canyons that planes have to observe them from a high altitude. Some believe, he said the ship might have crashed in one of these canyons and the only way it ever will be sighted is accidentally by some trapper or prospector. Even smoke from a fire at the bottom of the canyons would hardy be discernible in the air from haze or fog, fliers say. One trap per, who operates in the section, is going to make a special effort to watch for remains of the ship while patrolling his trap lines this winter.
 Hillard returned on the Princess Louise yesterday after coming up the Yukon and thence by rail to Skagway from Whitehorse.
