Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of tV.e Museums in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of tho Officers of the C 'm pany. — ■_- In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, tho promoters desire to state that ihe Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps Inost valuablo Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in tbe Southern Honjisphera. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing tho first prize at tho late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They a.so wi-h to dwell upon its known certainty and non speculative character, tho ultimate succo:sof this venture being now well established. Tho lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5, Lirger blocks, are, how ever, much more valuable, some pure White .-Utuoiy, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. Tho ordinary price for a block sultiblo for a life-size hu ian statue being about £1000. I The present cost of produc ing t',i. Marble hy manual labor only iB about 2s per cublo loot, f,o.b. Thoaoflgu.esmßy appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely coTCct. This, taking tho cost of production as stated and the very loweßt wholesale quotation at 12s per foot, gives tho apparently fabulous minimum rato of 500 per cent, profit. It Is therefoio, no visionary matter, ns the .care lead Ing commercial lines and tho values well known, tho fttcilitios of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property in tho world. Wc will also ven ture to predict that the value of the Company's hares will ncrease at least 300 per cent, within twelvelmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion of these commodities it ia also enormous. The consumption of Marblo, Portland Cement, and Limo, in the Australian Colonies, alone during tho last twelvo months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Caß well Sound is a commodious and safo harbor lor the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at tho watoi's ed«o. The Government of ibis colony has also promised to f avotirubly consider special grants in concessions in aid as soon as the Com pany is successfully floated.
