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 Bank of New Zealand in this Colony, until the 15th day of December, 1880, 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 Casweil 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 the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's right?, 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 proved by Casweil Sound Ma ble securing the first prize at the late Syduey 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 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 £1000. The present cost of producing this Marble by manual labour only is about 2* per cubic foot, f . o. b. These figure r may appear incredible, bat 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 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 dm ing the last twelve months hu« been £2,872,600 sterlinar, and rapidly increasing", Casweil Sound is a cr.mmodius 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 promi ed to favourably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon ax 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 Prespectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Companr, or from Company's Agents, the Bank of New Zealand, at any of thoir branches in this Colony and Australia ; also at the office ©f this paper,
