SOMBRERO GUANO. 



SEPTEMBER, I860. 



The Proprietors of Sombrero Island respectfully give notice, that such measures are now instituted at 

 the Island, as will prevent, in future, the possible shipment of any mixed or interior G uano- Fully confi- 

 dent that this locality is the richest known source of Phosphatic Guano, they have established a Laboratory 

 on the s ot, and appointed a resident Chemist, with strict instructions to select all cargoes, by preliminary 

 assays, from the richest parts of the deposit; so that all Guano exported from the Island, shall be, at least, 

 of the standard of 70 per cent.- Bone Phosphate of Lime. Cargoes coming at this time, and to arrive here- 

 after, will be of that standard. And, in order to give the consumers of Sombrero Guano the best advantages 

 ©f the deposit, a higher grade will be fixed as soon as arrangements can be completed for developing its 

 still richer portions. It is the determination of the Proprietors, not only to maintain the present superior 

 character of their Guano, but to increase its value, by sending it, ere long, into market with a per centage 

 of Bone Phosphate of Lime even greater than that by which it now excels every other phosphatic material. 

 Orders received by ROSS W. WOOD & SON, No. 90 Front St , New York.
