Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Applicatirn for Shares caa be obtained from the Brokera, Provisional Directors, or f>otn any of the Branches of tl.e Bank of New Zealand in thia Colony, until the 15th day of December, ISB >, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, ithen the lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can besten 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 Comtany's right comprise the be3t, most available, extensive, and perhaps moEt valuable Marble deposits in the known worlJ, at all events in 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 non-speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to' £5. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pu-'e White Statuary,without flaws,realising as much as £20,C00 sterling in 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 enly is about 2s 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 (j dotation at _l2s per foot, gives the appareot'y fabulous minimum rate of 10) per cent, profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, ai these are leading commercial line 3 and the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, hi>»h quality of product, giving a vast advantage over aDy like prop rty 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 twilve months of issue. Referring to consumption of these commodities, it is alio enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has bean £2,872,600 Stirling, and is rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a cotJ moJious and safe harbor for the largest vessel* in all weatherp, the works of the Company be : ng situated at the water's edge. The Government of t' n is colony has also promised to favorably consider spec : al grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is successfully floated. For further particulars re other minerals found at the found, copper, coal, gold, &c., a'so the manufacture of hydraulic current, lime, &c , together with scientific, professional. Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of th s Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company or from Company's Agente, the Bank < f New Zealand, Oamaru, and at any ol their branche in this colony and Australia* SO
