Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Appli-.ti-n for shares can be obtained r'rorn the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Kauk of New Z.;a!and in this Coloiiv, until the 15th day "t Dec-:m-bcr, ]SS \ at which date all applications mubt be in the lianis of the Brokers, -then the li3ts will positively be c'oied and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can besten at any of the Mnneums in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of the officers if the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's right comprise the best, mo it available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known woil i, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere, 'i hi 3is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound M.ir'-jle securing the first prize at the lnte Sydney Exhibition against Italipn Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and Eon-speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12i per font, and ranges up to £5. l.arger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary.without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europo. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a lifesize hnman statue ; eing ab-mt £IOOO. The present cost of producing this Mar! le by manual labor only is about 2s per cubic foot, f. o. b. These figures may ap;>ear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cos* of production as s-tate'l, and the very lowest whole.-alequotatiou at 12s per fjot gives the apparei.t'y abul.us nvnimum rate of f0) per cent profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, a* these are leading commercial liues and .the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, hiah quality of product, giving a vast advantage o"tr any like prop rty in the wor Jd We will also ventnre to predict that the value of the Company's shares will increase ah Jei-,t 300 per cent, within twlve mouths of issue. Referring to consumption o f these commodities, it is alro enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, a d Lime, in the Australian Colonies alon;: during '.he last twelve moDths l:as been £2,-72 600 sterling, and is ra;iid y iocrpa=ing. Caswell Sonndis a co • mo Aoxn ami saft: harbor for the largest vcr--l-- in all wc»Wic:-», the works of the Company be'ng situated at the water's edge.
