Also, to its great strength, as compared with other explosives. Afier repeated trials by the largest contractors in the Australasian Colonies, the reßults prove , beyond dißpute th it " NOBEL'S " DYNAMITE is the Most Powerful and Economical, being fully Fideen Per Cent, stronger than the Aus tralian-made Dynamite and Lithofracteur. -OIIBL'S DYNAMITE is unequalled for the following purposes:— Mining, Quarrying, BLABTiNG(in hard or soft, w_t or dry roefct.

Specimens of Caßwell Sound Marble can bo seen at any of tho Museums in Now Zealand; tho Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of tho Officers of tho Corn- In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of tho publio, the promoters desire to state that Ihe Company's righta comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhapß most valuable Marble deposits in tho known world, at all events ia the Southern Hemisphere. This ia Buftlciently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at tho late Sydnoy Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They a:so wi-h to dwell upon its known certainty and non- Bpeculative character, the ultimate Bucce_sof this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marhlo is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5, Larger blocks, are, how ever, much more valuable, Borne pure White Statua; y, without flaws, realising as mnch aa £20,000 sterling in Europe. Tho ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size hu i an Btatue being about £1000. I l'he pre_cnt co?t of produc ing tM - Marble by manual labor only is about 2s per cubic loot, f.o.b. These figures moy appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. This, taking the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12b per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cant, profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are lead ing commerciallines and the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, hiuh quality of product, giving a vnstadv<intagcover any like property in tho world. We will also ven ture to predict ihat the value ofthe Company's hares will ncrease at least 300 per cent, within twelvelmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion of these commodities it iB also enormous, The coneumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonieß, alone during the last twelve months haa been £2>7_,G00 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Cas well Sound is a commodious and safe harbor lor the largeßt vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at tho water's edge.
