Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand in this Colony, until the 15 th day of December, 18S0, at which date all applications must be iu 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 ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of the Officers of the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the the known world, at all events iu the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and nou-speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation fur this Marble is 12s. per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling iu Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a lifesize human statue being about £IOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only is about 2*. per cubic foot, f.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, but they are, nevertheless, absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotations at 12s. per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500. per cent, profit. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as 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 months of issue. Referring to consumption of these commodities, it is also enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, iu the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rai idly increasing. Caswell Sound Is a commodious and safe harbor for the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water’s edge. The Government of this colony has also promised to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is successfully floated. For further particulars rc other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, g Id, &c., also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c., together with scientific, professional. Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we refer to the prospectus, which cau be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company, from Company’s Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, at any of their branches in this colony and Australia, and at the office of this paper. 3072 [a card.] SIDNEY WOLF, R.A.M., is prepared to take a limited number of pupils, for Pianoforte, Singing, Production of the.
