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 loot, and - ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary,without flaws, realising aa much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a lifesize homan statue being about £IOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only is about2s percubio foot, f.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, trot they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus,taking the cost of production as stated, and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of COO percent, profit, It is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines and the values well known, the facilities of nrtrdnction, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage ftirpy iny ITtrfl prop *-rtv in the wuf Id. 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 commodi* ties, it is also enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months ba3 been £2,872,600 sterling, and is rapidly increasing. Caawsll Sound is a commodious and safe harbor for the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the watar's edge. The Government of this colony has also promised to favorably congidar special grants and concessions in aid M soon as the Company is successful iy floated. For further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, &c., also the manufacture of hydraulic eesunt, lime, &c., together with scienti6o, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Compandor from Company's Agents, the Bank cf New Zealand, Oamaru, and at any of their branches in this colony and Australia. 800 THE ST.
