The newest thing in mining is the subscription in Ballarat for a quartz mining company in Carnarvonshire, North Wales. For some time past the English papers have given accounts of the discovery of auriferous quartz in North Wales, and the yields reported have occasionally been rather enticing to persons of speculative dispositions. It appears that Mr Theophilus Williams, an old resident in Ballarat, and owner of the ground now being worked by the Essex Company, has gone on a visit to bis native country, and has become enamored of the prospects open to quartz investors in North Wales. We are informed that he has formed a scheme for mining there, and has invited his Ballarat mining friends to join in the speculation, several of whom have taken up shares.[1]
