Specimens of Caswell Sound Marbln can be seen at any of the Museumß in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to any of tho Officers of the C >m- In introducing thia eligible investment to the notico ot tho public, iho prouiotera desire to state that iho Company's rights comprise tho heat, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This ia sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing tho first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition agatnat Italian Statuary and other valuablo varieties. They a.co wi.h to dwell upon its known certainty and non speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now woll established, lhe lowest quotation for thia Marble is 12s por foot, and ranges up to £5, Larger blocks, are, how ever, much more valuable,.some pure White Etatua'y, without flaws, realising aB much as £20,000 BterlinK in Europe. Tho ordinary price for a blook BUlt&ble for a life-size hu ian statue being about £1000. M'he present cost Of produc ing this Marble by manual labor only is about 2s per cubic foot, f.o.b. These figurea mßy appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. This, taking the cost of production as Btated 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 theao are lead ing 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. W c will also ven ture to predict that the valae of the Company 8 hares will ncroase at least 300 per cent, witbin twelvelmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion of these commodities, it ia alao enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies, alone during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Las well Sound is a commodioua and safe harbor lor the largest veesela in all weathers, tne works of the Company being situated at tho water's edge. The Government of this colony has also promiaed to favourably consider special granta in conceasiona in aid as Boon aa the Lor- nis successfully floated.
