MANAGER PRO TEM. A. H. Malcolm, Esq. Copies of Prospectus and Forms of aplication for shares can be obtained from he Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from P y of the branches of the Bank of New frMmd in this Colony, until the 15th day of December, 1880, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, tfhen the lists will positively bo Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be wen at any of the Museums in New ZeaItedj the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington]*W on application io any of the Officers -of the Company. , In introducing tun eligible investment to the notice of the public, the promoters deare 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 tho Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition , (gainst Italian Statuary and other valuable t varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its - known certainty and non-speculative character the ultimate success of this venture being now established. The lowest quota- ] tion for this Marble io 12a per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuary, without flaws, realising as much 48 £20,000 sterling in Europe. Tlie ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size human statue, being -about LIOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only is abopt 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 j the appafently fabulous minimum rate of , R£H) per cent, profit It is, therefore, no ' visionary matter, as these are leading com. mercial lines and tfie values well known, the facilities bf 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 ef the Company's shares will iuoroase at ] eaa t 300 per cent, within twelve months of issue. Referring to consumption of these commodities, it is also enormous. The consumption of Marblo, Portland Cement, and lime in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has been £2,862,600 sterling, a id rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious and safe the works of tho Company being situated the water's edge. The Government of this Colony has also promised to. favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is successfully floated. Tor further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, eold, Ac., together with scientific, profeslional, Government, aud other reports, with the details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we vcfer to the prospectus, which can be obtained on application to any of the officers of the Company, or •from Company's agents, tho Bank of New Zealand, Masterton. Greytown, and Carterton, and at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia. 610 ADELAIDE WINES. FJ.
