" 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, tbe promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the test, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all eventß in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently 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 JUOcesß of this venture being 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 pare 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 correot. 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, no visionary matter, as these are leading ootcmf roial lines and the values well known: tho 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 consumption of these oommoditiep, it is also enormous. • The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement and Lime, in tbe Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has been £2.872,600 sterling, and ia rapidly increasing. Cuswell Sound is a oommodious and safe harbor (or 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 tho Company is successfully floated. For further particulars re other minerals found at tbe Sound, copper, coal, goldi &c, also the' manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and inten tions of the Company, we refer to the detailed Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company'u Agents, the Bank of JNew Zealand, at anj of their branohes in this coleny and Australia, or from any of the Company's Brokers, through whom all applications for Shares mußt be made before the 31st January, 1881. Hote.—All Shares will be allotted by priority of application. Applications for Shares to bo made to Mr JOHN Lbxdon, Auctioneer, Thames, who has been appointed Broker to the Company in this (Thames) District. 1603 STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS POB ' CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEAES. Its well-earned extensive sale has . induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are.therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine ;-~ lflt««r-In every case the words JOHN STBBDMAJSr, CHEMIST, WALWORTH are.engraved oa tho Government ■Mtmp affixed to each packet.
