Copies ,of Prospeotus and forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or . fp om any of the Branches of the Bunk of New Zealand in this Colony, until the 15th day of December, 18S0, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the .Brokers, when the list will positively be closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of the Museum* in New Zealand ; the Chamber qf 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 pi'oved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian statuary and other valuable varietias. 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 and ranges up to £5. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure white statuary, without flawf, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary prioe 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 figure* may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 1,2s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent, profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines and the valuea 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 pr cent, within twelve months of isßue. Referring to consumption of 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 rapidly increasing, Caswell Sound is a commodius and safe harbour for the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the waters edge. The Government of this Colony has also promised to favourably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is successfully floated. P*or further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold, &c., also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c, &c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we refer to the Prespectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company, or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, at any of thoir branches in this Colony and Australia ; also at tho office of this paper,
