'aa -Xl ; In introducing^ this eligible [investment, to; thie notice of , the, public, .the promoters desire; ,to state that the Company's rights comprise! the beßt,; most avaiVble,' txleiisive, and! perbeps most-, valuable -Marble deposits in! the known world, ; at all events,;in the Soutb-; crn Hemisphere. This is sufficiently prayed by Caswell Sound Marble securing theflNt' prize at the late Sydney .Fxhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable-. varieties. They also wieh. to.dweltupon; its iknowh certainty and ncn-.speculatiye^ character,; the ultimate success of this venture; being ; now •well esVablished. The lowest quotation ( for this Marble is 1 2s per foot, and ranges up to \ £5. Large blocks are, however,) much more ■ Valuable, some pure white f t«tuary, without flaws, realising as much as. £20,000 sterling : in Europe'; the ordinary price^for" a block i suitable for a life-size human Statue being 1 about £1000.' The present cost of producing this marble bys manual, labor only ? is \ttbo.ut J 2s.per cubic foot,' f.o b. These flgures\may _ppear incredible, but they are •qeyertheie_s absolutely correct. • Thus, taking'th^ cfo.'t production as stated, and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12 per foot, jgives the apparently fabulous minimum, rate of 500. per cetit profit. , itr -S, .th'.refqre, to, visionaiy matter, us tbese are leading commercial lines and the; values well-known, the facilities r of production, shipment, high. quality j of'prW duet,, giving a yast adyantage over.any, liie p?op^rty in the ; worVd. We will aisb^yentu.re to predict that the value of the Company's" .hares iwill 1 . increase at : . least SOb'Jper c cent* wiihin twelve mon ths ;of issue.
