Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Appli* tion for Snares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of hs Branches of the Bank of New Zealand in i this Colony, until the 15th day of December, 1880, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when th,e lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. Specimens of CasweU Sound Marble can be; seen at any of tbe Museums in New Zealand the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or oh application to any of the Officers of the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the publio, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and per* haps most valuable, Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the. Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficienty 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 £6. Large blocks are, however, much more valuable, some puro White Statuary, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a life size human statue being about £1000. Tbe present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only is about 2s per cubic foot, fob. These figures may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated and tbe very lowest wholesale quotation at 12s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 600* 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 pro* perty in the world. We will also venture io 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, in the Austra* lian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly 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 pro* mhed to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as tbe Company it successfully floated. For further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound*, oopper, coal, gold, &c, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, 4a, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, >.ith details of the obieots and intentious of tbe Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zoaland, Dunedin, at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia. i COBHECT TIME-KEEPEBS.
