Still No Traces Of Alaskan Plane. Still Ho Traces of Alaskan Plane FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 23. UP) —The bright orange wings of Pilot Arthur F. Hines' vanished airplane were sought today by a growing swarm of other ships which swept along mountainsides and explored dark valleys between Dawson, Y. T., and Fairbanks. It was the fifth day since Hines, breasting foul weather, took off from Dawson with Mr. and Mrs. John Lonz, married one month, and Alton Nordale, clerk of the United district court here, aboard and disappeared near the Alaska-Yukon boundary. Five airplanes started the search Wednesday after Hines and his passengers failed to arrive in Fairbanks. Another plane joined, then yesterday three more engaged in the hunt. The pilots followed valleys and traced streams for many miles on opposite sides of the route and favored by clear weather discovered crumbling cabins but nowhere the plane or its passengers.
