Copies of Prospectus and Forms of AppHcation 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 15th day of December, 1880, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. „ , ~ Specimens of Caswell Soand Marble can be seen at any of the Mnseums in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of the oiheers of the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to tile notice of the public, the promoters desire •to state that the Company's right comprise the best, most available, extensive, _ and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved bv Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statnary and Other valuabie varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its tmrvnm certainty and non-speculative charac--far, the ultimate success of thi3 venture feing now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks aire, however, much more valuable, some pare White Statuary, with out flaws, realising as much as £20,000 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 labor only is about 2s per cubic foot, 4.0.b. These figures may appear incredible, Irat they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the coat of production as stated, and the very lowest wholesale quotation atl 2s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent, profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, a3 these are leading commercial line 3 and the values well known, ±he facilities of production, shipment, high .quality of product, giving a vast advantage o»er any like property in the world. We will alio venture to pi ~ 'lict 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, in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months ha3_been £2,572,600 sterling, and is rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious arid safe h3rbor for the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water's edge. The Government oi t'nis colony has also promised to favorably conaider special grants and concessions in aid ss soon as the Company is successfully floated. For farther particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold, &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 can b« obtained upon application to any of tha officers of the Company' or from Company's Agents, tlio <-/.ealand, Oamaru, acd at any or their branches in this colony and Australia. 800 ■THE ST.
