CONCENTRATIONS Ar Day vNllsx.

1 Superintendent Of the Meadow Valley
mine aud mill. We were enabled to pay n
visit on Thursday last, to Dry Valley Tor
the purpose OF observing the process Of
concentrating the tailings belonging to
that mill, which is now being done by
Osborne and other contractors. The
advantage derived from concentrating is
that the value of seven or eight tons
of tailipRs may be reduced 30 tha.
one ton will contain the entire valuation
Of the seven or eight tons, thereby saw.
ing enormous freights il they have to be-
shipped for reduction. and also the say.
ing Of so much cost per ton in working.
The process consists in having streams
Of water running through portion OF
the tailinRs, q constant agitation being
kept up, SO that the heavy metallic por-
ton falls to the bottom, whilst the refuse
matter floats off. This agitation is kept
up until, as We stated before, that seven
or eight tons are reduced to one. At the
Dry Valley mill about ten men are ut
work ut this process, shovsling. wash.
ing, etc. These concentrations have
been shipped to Sacramento, Milford,
York, Utah, and Salt Lake City, to see
at which place they can be worked to
the best advantage. Shipments are at
present slow, owing to so few Mormon
teams now coming to Phoebe, the conss-
quence of which is that about 1870 tons
of the concentrations are now at the mill
awaiting shipment, These concentra-
tons work $l20 per ton in silver. in ad-
dition to which there is 40 per cent. of
lead. We are under Obligations to Il.
Wash and Jos. Thibault for courtesies
extended to us during our pleasant trip,
LEE's CONFESSION. Through the kind
ness of W. W. Bishop, we are again
enabled to publish some portions of the
life and confessions of John d. Lee
which will be found to be OF very inter
ssting nature, showing how Lee was led
to believe that he would be saved by
Brigham Young and the Priesthood, and
how they kept him from acknowledging
all the facts duplicating others until after
he was condemned. Mr.. Bishop will
soon issue the entire life and confession
OF Lee in book form, when everyone will
do well to procure copies, as it will well
repay perusal.
