Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Hank of New Zealand in this colonv, until the lf.th day of December, ISSO, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively bo closed and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound .Marble can be seen at am- of the Museums in New Zealand, the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington, or on application to any of the Oflicersof 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, eaensive, and perJiaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known wctlrl, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufh'ciently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Svdnev Kxhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable vai ieties. 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 lis per foot, and ranges up to .05 Larger blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure White Statuarv, without Haws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling' in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size human statue being about .CIOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labour only is about 2s per cublic foot, fob. 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, prollt. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines ami the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property ill the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company's Shares will increase at least :iOO 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 has been ,C 2,572,000 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious 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. For further particulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold, A-c, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, Ac, together with scicntilic, 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 Company, or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, Auckland, or at any of their | branches in this colony and Australia.
