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 public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights 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 by Caswell Bound 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-Bpeculative character, the ultimate success of this venture beiag now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, muoh more valuable, some pure 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. The present cost of producing .this Marble by manual labour only is about 2s per cubic foot, f. o. b. These fignres may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotations at 12s per foot, gives the ■ apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent: profit. It is, therefore, bo 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's shares will increase at least 300 per cent, within twelve months of issue. Referring to con* - sumption ef these commodities, 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 is rapidly increasing. Caswell Bound is a commodious, and safe harbor for the largest Teasels ia all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water's. edf«irfi'&ne {Joyernment of this colony has. also promiM to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company \is successfully floated.
