Show ARROWHEAD PET.CO. "TO DRILLDOWN RIVER "It is my firm belief that two potential poten-tial oil fields, destined to produce as much as the famed California fields, exist right here close to Las Vegas," A. F. Mercer, prominent oil engineer told members of the Chamber of Commerce today. Mr. Mercer spent a few moments tracing the various structures from the Wyoming fields into Southern California, Cal-ifornia, and said the Arden structure, and one near Crystal had all the requisites re-quisites of an oil field. "But," he concluded "the only true test is the bit. I believe there is oil here, and am sure the bit will bear me out." Mercer is a graduate of Heidelberg University, and has spent twenty years in oil geology for the Arrowhead Petroleum Pe-troleum Company which contemplates drilling a well on the Arden anticline in the near future.
