 INTEREST AT THE
 NATIONAL CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 5. (By W.AS.) After spending 14 years in Nome and contiguous country Stephen K. Biroschak was called to Bridgeport nearly five years ago because of the serious illness of his mother, who later died. Then he got married and has young boy and later a brother was i'll for a long time and died. Stephan was in Washington the other day and says that he is now making his ar arrangements to return to Nome on the steamer Victoria next spring.
 The Department of the Interior has given out the preliminary re- port of the Geological Survey on mining activities of the past sum- nler in the Alaska Railroad belt. In the last appropriation made by Congress, the sum of $250,0O0 was specifically set apart for this eX- Dloration work, which has shown the existence of valuable coal fields and important reserves of precious metals. The section of the an- nouncement summarizing conclu- sions from the survey, issued by the Department of the Interior, follows:
 AS the result of intensive studies last summer of the mineral re- sources of the belt tributary to the Alaska Railroad, the Geological Survey announces that that region contains important reserves of gold, silver, lead and zinc, large depos- it's of -bituminous and bitunl- inous coal and possibilities that there may be an anthracite field of commercial importance. Gold lode mining is being actively carried on in a number of camps, and several of these show great promise of in creased production from mines al- ready operated and from other lodes so far undeveloped.
 The Investigations in the rail- road belt, the preliminary results of which are here announced, were made under a special appropria- ton to the Alaska Railroad for the purpose of determining the possi- bilities of the several districts for furnishing tonnage from their min eral resources to the railroad over a period of years, and the investi- cations were confined solely to dis tricts in which lode deposits or coal were known to exist. Nine sep arate projects were organized un- der the general direction of s. R. Capps, with individual geologists assigned to Fairbanks, Kantishna,

FRIEND OF DIAMOND
SOUGHT FOR QUIZ

By United Press
ALBANY. N. Y, Dec. 21.-A
friend of Jack Legs" Diamond, re-
vealed as one of the last two known
men who saw the gangster alive,
was sought today by police here and
in Wateryliet for questioning.
This hitherto unnamed person,
Sylvester Hess. was brought into
the investigation by John H. Storer,
taxi-cab driver for Diamond on the
night of the Staying.
The taxi driver changed his story
of events in renewed questioning,
admitting that Hess rode part OF
the way with Diamond from the
latter's tryst with Marion "Kiki'
Roberts to the Dove street address,
where the gangster was shot to
death shortly afterward.
According to the account by
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-12-21

Storer, Hess went to the lodging
house where Miss Roberts lived,
with orders from Diamond to tell
the showgirl that Legs" would call
on her soon. Then, when Storer
drove the gangster to his last tryst,
Hess was in the car and remained
outside while Diamond went to Miss
Roberts rooms.
Diamond will go to his grave
without the usual gangland tribute
of flowers, nor will his funeral be

The gangster lay in an $500 coffin
