Malcolm, Kequire Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of tbe Branches o: the Bank of New Zealand in thiß Colony, until the i6th day of December, 1830, at which date all implications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. . Specimens of Caswell Sound-Marble can be seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand ; tie Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of the Officers of the Company. . In inttoa icing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, tue promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in tbe known world, at all events, in tlie Southn Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Ca swell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Itrlian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wieh to dwell upon its known certainty and non-speculative, character, the ultimate success of this venture being now we'l established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Large blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure white ftstuary, without flaw e, realising os much as £20,000 steilicg in Europe ; the ordinary price for a block suitable for a -life-size human statue being about £1000. The present cost of producing thiß marble by manual labor only is about 2a per cubic foot, f.o b. These figures may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the coft of \ oduction as stated, and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12 per foot, giveß the ap^arentlv fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent profit. It is, therefore, co visionary matter, sb these are leading commercial lines and the values well-known, the facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast. advantage over any like property in the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company's shares will increase at least 300 per cent within twelve moDths of issue. Kef erring to consumption of these commodities, it is also oiormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months had betn £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious and safe harbor for the largest vessels in aU we r tbers, the works of the Company beurj situated at the water's edge. The Government of this Colony has also promised to favorably consider spiral grants and concessions in aid aa soon as the Company is euccessfullv flouted. For further particulars re other minerals found at. the Sound, copper, soal, god, &c, also the manufacture of bydrani'c cement, lime, &c, toge.her with scientific, pro.. asional, Government, and otber reports, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we re?e? to. the Projprcius, which can be obtained upon application to my of the officers of tbe Company >r from the Company 'a A.ientß, the Bank of New Zealand, Wesson, or at any of their M&oobw-irj this Colo&y &»jcj Australia. -.; ; ' 001-4
