Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Appli* tion for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Direotors, orfieom any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand in this Colons, until the 16th day of December, 1880, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively be dosed and shares allotted. Specimens of Oaswell Bound Mtrble can be seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand j 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'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 suffioienty proved by Oaswell Sound Marble securing the first prise at the late Sydney Exbibition , 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, ana ranges up to £5. Large blocks are, bowever, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary, without flaws, realising as xnueh 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, fob. 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 600 per cent, profit. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines and tbe values well knows, the facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like pro* perty in the wo-ld. We will also venture to „' predict that the value of the Company'sshares will increase at least 300 per cent, within twelve months of issue. Referring to consumption of those com modities it .is also enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and 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 this Colony has alto 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, oopper, coal, gold, &c, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, >ith details of the obieots and intentions of tbe Company, we refer to the Prospeotus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin, at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia.
