Malcolm, Esq., Copies of Prospectus and Forma of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand iv this Colony, until the 15th day of December, 1880, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the . lists will positively be closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be.seen at any of the Museums iv 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 dtaire to stase that the Company's rights comprise the best, moßt available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known i world, at all events in the Southern Hemi- ' sphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. _ Ihey also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and non-specu-lative 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 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 -21000. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labor only ia 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 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 v-lues 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 inorease 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 during the last twelve months haa been -32,872,600 sterling, and 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 thia colony haa 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 tbe Sound, copper, coal, gold, Ac, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, _c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and intentions of tbe Company, we refer to the Prospectus, which can be obtained npon application to any of the officers of the Company or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, at any of their branches in this colony and Australia, and at the ofiice of this paper. 11-1 6301 Money.
