Malcolm, Esq. » Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Applition for Snares 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 1 date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be. seen 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 publio, the promoters desire to state that the Company j^fighta 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 suffioienty 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 establish ad. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Large blocks are, however, much more valuable, some puro White Statuary, without flaws, realising as mtioh as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a life size human statue being about £1000. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only 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 aa stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12s per foot, gires the apparently, fabulous minimum rate of 500 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 property in the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company^ 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, arid Lime, in the Australian 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 tbe largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water's edge. The Government of tkis Colony has also promised to favorably consider special grants, and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is successfully floated. For further particulars re other minerals; found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold,' &0., also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &6V together with scientific, professional, . Government, and other reports, with detail* of the obieots and intentions of the Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which Can be obtained upon application to any of the ojHcors of. the Company or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin, at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia.
