Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares ran be obtained from the Brokers, Provisional Directors, or fiom any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand in thi3 Colony, until the 15th day of December, ISS \ at which date ill applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, «vhen the lists 'will positively be clo-td and shares allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of the Museums in 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 ths public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's right comprise the best, mo3fc available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known -world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Itali?n Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and noa-specnlative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12a per loot, ar.d ranges up to £5. Larger block? are, however, much more valuable, some pu e White Siatuary, without flsws, realising as much as £2O,C'OO sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a lifesize h«man statne V>eiog about £IOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by msnual labor only is 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 atl2s per foot, gives the apparently f abnlous nrnimum rate of EO'i per cent profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines and the values well kno'spi, the facilities cf production, shipment, high quality of prt duct, giving a vast advantage over ar y like prep rty in the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company's shares will increase 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, ar.d Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months ha 3 been £2,872,600 sterling, and is rapidly increasing. Caswell is a con modious and safe harbor for the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company bemg situated at the water's edge. The Government of colony has ako promised to favorably consider special gTants 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, &c., also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &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 Company or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, Oamaru, and at any of their branches in this colony and Australia. 800
