STORY OF DISAPPEARANCE

On August g, last year, The Elm pire printed the following story relative to the disappearance of the Hines plane:
 The rugged mountaneous country between Dawson, Y. T., and Fair banks, Alaska, is today being comb ed by planes searching for the ship carrying Pilot Arthur F. Hines, MT and Mrs. John Lonz, Fairbanks businessman and his, married only a month ago, and Alton G, Nordale, Clerk of the United States District Court for the Fouth Judicial Divis- ion. and member. of the last two Alaska Territorial Legislature.
 The plane has not been reported since taking off from Dawson for Fairbanks last Monday afternoon.
 Oper Chicken Creek.
 The plane was last reported over the Chicken Creek country
 It is believed that Pilot Hines set down deliberately through some mishap or on account of bad wealth CT.
 Searching planes are equipped both for landing on water as well as land.
 Todays search is in charge of and directed by Murray Hall, Depart ment of Commerce, Aeronautics branch. Inspector of Alaska, who is flying his own Stinson plane.
 Many in Search,
 Other fliers engaged in the search are:
 Harold Gillian, Cordova aviator, operator of an independent service line; Percy Hubbard, independent flier, partner of Hines; Al Monson, PAA pilot, s. Christensen and H. S. Lynn.
 M w. Saseen and Vera Brook walter have been on the search for the past two days with the oth- CTS.
 Fifth Days Search
 The next day, August 23, The Empire stated that the fifth day of the search had proven futile al- though a mystery smoke had been seen which investigated, proved to have been an Indian camp. Five planes were in the air in the search which continued for over ten days and then hopes was abandoned. It was then stated that it was be- lieved Hines had come down in some isolated section but that the mystery would be cleared up by some propecctor who would stum- ble on the wrecked plane.
 Planes had combed the country like a fine tooth comb operating in all directions but no trace of the missing craft was ever sighted and it was stated then and it did de- velop, prospectors would solve the mysterious disappearance. Fair banks offered reward at the time for any information concerning the mystery.
 The disappearance of the Hines plane followed in less than a week after the crash at Point Barrow in which Wiley Post and Will Rogers lost their lives.

ALASKA PLANE, . MISSING YEAR.
 NOW FOUND

ten, prospectors made the discov- cry.
 The wreckage was located on a barren mountain pass at an ele- vation of about 4,500 feet, above timber line on the Panama Valley slope of the Healy river. about 20 miles westerly from the Goodpas- ter quartz mining camp.
 MT Hajdukovich, who arrived here from Goodpaster this afternoon brought number plate off the motor of the wrecked plane The number was checked here and found to be the same as was on the Stinson plane piloted by Hines.
 The members of the party lost on the plane were MT. and Mrs. John F. Long, Alton G. Nordale and Pilot Hines. They took off from Dawson for Fairbanks August 19, after having attended the Discovery Day celebration in Dawson. That was the last seen of them.
 Tells ot DiScouery
 We found the wrecked plane" said MT. Hajdukovich today, while crossing the high mountain pass above timber line, at an elevation of about 4,500 feet, and on the slope of the Healy River, which drains into the upper Panama.
 "The plane apparently crashed and burned before anyone could es- cape from it. We found a few charred bones, evidently those of the victims.
 "The motor was intact but badly damaged. The plane was consumed by the flames, all excepting the frame"
 Number Checks
 MT. Hajdukovich brought with him the plate from the meal plane motor, numbered M1125, It was checked here this afternoon and found to correspond with that which was on the Stinson plane piloted by Hines when the ship dis appeared. Commissioner w. N Growden says there is no doubt the plate is from the long missing plane.
 John Hajdukovich returned here today from Goodpaster with Pilot Lou Brennan of Pollock Flying Service, after having walked back from the scene of the wreck to Goodpaster. McConn and Tweiten are still at Goodpaster or vicinity The party had left Goodpaster sev- eral days ago on prospecting trip.
 Hajdukovich, one of the best known traders and property owners of the upper Panama country, and Fairbanks, reported last summer having heard what seemed to be plane in the vicinity of his Tan ana post, and said today he now has no doubts but what it was the Hines plane he heard. It then was probably IS to 20 miles, he says, from where 1t crashed
 The search for the Hines plane was the most extensive ever made in Alaska, and one of the longest in history. Scores of planes and numerous fliers and others parti- cipated, and travelled a mileage equal to several times around the world, and continued the search until long after the winter snows had covered the plane and its four burned victims, all of whom were universally honored and beloved throughout the Northland.

BEAR TRAPS TURNED IN
 TO GAME COMMISSION

Frank Dufresne, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, has recently received ten huge bear traps from the vicinity of Halaes and Klukwan. The traps are s."el- iawed vicious affairs, weighing as much as forty-fiVe pounds each, with teeth of more than an inch in length. They are quite capable of mangling, crushing, and injecting a mans leg to such an extent th.t amputation, if not death would be inevitable.
 Use of steel traps having more than nine-inch spread of jaws has been :prohibited under the Ala,Ha Game Laws for several years anG it is not believed that traps of the kind recently used by MT, DuFresne are being used to any great rXteI t. The Game Commission does receive reports from time to time of such traps in the woods. however, and are making diligent effort, through education and demonstra- ton of the danger of this use, to induce the owners of bear traps to turn them over to the game ward ems sOr destruction, officials said.
 The, traps recently received were all voluntarily turned over to q game warden by native and local residents of Haines and Klukwan while the warden was making g routine patrol through that district
