Copies of Prospectus and Forma of Applition for Bnaws oan be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Batik of New Zealand in this Colony, until the 16tb day of December, 1880, at Which date all applications must be in tbe halts of tbe Brokers, when the list* will posi» if ely be doted and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of tbe Museums in New Zealand * the CbeVber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of the Officers of the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, the promoter! desire to state that the Company's rights comprise tbe best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable, Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is snffieirnty proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prise at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Btatuary 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. -largeblocks are,however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. Tbe ordinary price for a block suitable for a life size human statue being about £1000. The present cost of producing this Mirble by manual labor only is about 2$ per cabie foot, fo bf These figures may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12a per foot, gives 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 »dfan'age over any like property in the wo-Id. W« will also venture io predict that the value of tbe 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. Tbe consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone du> ing tbe last twelve momhs has been £2,872,600 sterling, a»d rapidly increasing. Caawell Sound is a commodious and safe harbor for tbe largest v» seels in all weathers, the works ef the Company being situated at the water's edge. Tbe Government of this 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, &c. r slio the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, Ac, together with soienliflo, professionkl, Government, and other reports, ..ith details of the obieots and intentions Of the Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which oan be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the ComS any or from Company's Agents, the Bank of Tew * Zealand, Dunedin, at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia. 6 'BE HEBBEET H.
