Mr N. M. Warmington, General Manager of Malayan Collieries, Bald today that if he were given more exact in- formation on where a Japanese corporal claimed he buried treasure on Malaya's Batu Arang coalfields in 1945 he might be able to find it,
Earlier, the corporal, Yozaburo Yamada, a restaurant owner in Kanazawa City, claimed in a report from Japan that he burled 165 pounds of gold ingots, six boxes of silver, two boxes of ¿lumands, rubles and other jewels in sa aban- doned coalraine south of Batu Arang after it had been col- lected by the wartime Commander-in-Chief of Japanese forces, General Tomoyuki Yamashita.
"There are quite a number of abandoned coalmines more or less south of Batu Arang," Mr Warmington said.
"Most of them are flooded with water, somo na deep an 600 feet.
Mr Warmington added: "It might be possible, especially If the Japanese corporal could come lo Malaya and show us the spot, to pump out the water and start a search."—Leuter.
