Specimens of Caßwell Sound Marble cau be seen at any of tho Museums in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of the Officers of the C un- In introducing this eligible investment to the notico of the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in tbo known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This ia sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. • They also wifh to dwell upon its known certainty and non speculative character, the ultimate Buccefß of thia venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marßle is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5, Larger blocks, are, how over, much more valuable, some pure white Btatuaiy, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 Bte-ling in Europe. Th - ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size hu l.an statue being about £1000. 'The present cost pf produc ing tiiia Marbleby manual labor only ia about 2a per cubic foot, f.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. This, taking the cost of production as stated and tbe very lowest wholesale quotation at 12a per foot, gives tho apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent, profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, as those are lean ing commercial lines and the values well known, the facilities of production, shipment, hum quality of product, giving a vaatadvantageover any like property in the world. We will alsO ven ture to predict that the value of the Company a hares will ncrease at least 300 per cent, within twelvolmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion of theße commoditie', it is also enormous. Tho consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies,. alone during the last twelve1 months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Cas well Sound is a commodious and safe harbor tor the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of tho Company being situated at the water's edge. The Government of this colony haß also promised to favourably consider special grants in concessions in aid as soon as the Com pany is successfully floated. For farther par ticulars re other minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold, &c„ also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c„ together with scientific, professional.
