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 Ibe Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive^ f»nd perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events inHbe Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by C»ewell 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 thi3 venture beißg now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, much 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-sue 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 figures 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, profits It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as iheso are lading commercial lines and the values well known: th* facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property in tbe 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 consumption of these commodities, it is also enormous. ' The consumption of Marble, • Portland Cement and Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone duriog the last twelve months has been £2.872,600 sterling, and is 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 promised to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as Boon as the Company is successfully floated.. For further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, capper, coal, gold, &c, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we refer to the detailed Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company's Agentß, the Bank of New Zealand, at , any of their branches in this colony and Australia, or from any of the Company's Brokers,, through whom all applications for Shares must be nvide before the 31st January, 1881.
