the Lafitte pool in Louisiana
was discovered in the flat del
ia of the Mississippi, a spot
selected by what is called ex-
ploration by earthquake. This
system constitutes the most
modern practice in prospecting
and is being used by the Unit
ed Geophysical Company OF
Puerto Rico.
DR.. Meyerhoff's prediction
might still be accurate the
only realpayoff is oil prospect

there is scientific evidence

the presence of deposits in GER

these has been aroused to at

Carib Review Says P. R.
Searching for Oil

According to a Caribbean Re
view, the United Geophysical
Company of Pasadena, Califor-
mia, one of the worlds fore
most organizations in its field,
has been commissioned to
make extensive study of rock
formations on the Island and
its tidal environments with
the purpose of detecting pos
Sible oil-bearing strata.
It was pointed out that DR..
Meyerhoff, leading authority
on the geology of Puerto Rico,
had asserted back in 1881 that
there appeared to be only one
faint source of hope for the
presence of oil originating in
the cretaceous rocks. On the
insufficient evidence supplied
by geological observations, DR..
Meyerhoff concluded that the
prospect of finding large re-
sources in p. r. were there
fore very poor. He said that
until imported supplies of fuel
become more expensive and
the available water supply is
completely utilized, it is bet
ter economy to enjoy the faint
hope that does exist than to
face the homely fact of failure.
Almost four years after DR..
Meyerhoff's p~essimistic advice
