Copies of Prospectus and forms of Application for Shares can, be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or fiom any of the Branches of the B.ink of New Zealand in this Colony, until the ] oth day of December, ISBO, at which dute all, applications must be iv the hnnds of the Brokers, when the K*t will positively b,e closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Casweil Sound Marble can bo seen at any of the Museum * in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on npplictition 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 right*, comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps ino>st valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all event* in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Ma ble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wis-li to dwell upon its known certaiuty and non-speculative character, the ultimate success of this veuture beiufrnow well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per toot and ranges up to is. Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure white statuary, without flaw", realising as much as £20,U00 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size humau statue being about £1000. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labour only is about 2.v per cubio foot, f . o. b. These figure b may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated aud the very lowest wholesale quotation 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 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 pr 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 during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing, Casweil Sound is a commodiuß andßafe 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 an soon a* the Company is successfully floated. For 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 Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the CompanT, or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, at any of their branches in this Colony and Australia ; ulso at the office of this paper,
