Specimens! of Caswell Sound Marble can be aeon at aoy of the Jluaeuins in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of tho Officers of the Com- Pt jLiiylntrodncinß this eligible investment to the notice of iho public, ihe promoters desire to stato that the Company's rights comprne the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps moat valuable Miirble deposits in tho known world, at all events iv tho Southern Hemisphere. Tliis Is sufficiently proved by Caawell Sound Marble securing the first prize at tho late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuablo varieties. They a.BO wi.h to dwell upon its known certainty and non speculative character, the ultimate Buccots of this venture bointi now well established. Ihe lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foor, and rannes up to £5, Lirger blocks, are, how ever much more valuable, some pure White itatnaiy, without flaws, realising as much as £20 000 sterling ia Europe. Thd ordinary price for a block suitable fora life-size huj an statue being about £1000. 11' ho present cost of produc inj* this Marblo by manual labor only is about 2s Der oubio toot, f.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. This, takinis the cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 123 per foot^ gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per csnt. profit. It Is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are lead Ing commercial lines and the values well known, the facilities of pr-duction, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast ad vantage over any like property in the world. We will also ven ture to predict that the valne of the Company s hares will ncrease at leaat 300 per cent, within twelvelmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion 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 £2,672,600 sterling, and rapidly increa&ing. Cas well Sound is a commodious and safe harbor tor the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company being situated at the water's edite. The Government of this colony bas also promised to favourably consider special grants In concessions in aid as soon as the Com pany is successfully floated.
