Concentrating.

Mr.. w. NJ. Nesbit came up from
Silver Reef on Wednesday last. In
the course Of a conversation with q
HERALD scribe the gentleman who
/ is mining man sn1 who has bee
one for over a generation, re ference
was made to the vast, the absolutely
inexhaustible qnan i y of low grade
ores to be found in Utah. It leake d
out that the gentleman had been
considering the subject for some
time past, and is of the opinion that
a process ST concentration can be
devised by which the desirable re-
suit can be brought atout. 1t
was also ascertained that he
hal devised method, the
p acticability of which he Is now
testing. Its success has been dem.
onstra'e ed in the ores of Silver Reef,
and in some In Mineral Park. Mr..
Nesb;t states that to prove success.
full the method devised, whatever it
may be, must be capable of
handling all grades, with eq aal IA
cility and profit, where the Inherent
wealth of the ores admit of it and
while, alIu1ing with unusual
modesuy to his continuance, Mr.
Nesbit states that philosophy and
practical conditions lead him to the
belief that his process will stand the
test, and is now about giving the ores
OF this part of Utah test, to prove,
beyond the peradvi nture of douo',
and by practical tests, that the pro.
cess is equally ef1icaclous on ores of
whatever grade. The process is by
systsm of sluiciDg, and Mr.. Mes.
bit says ia so ridiculousIy simple
that it has almost the appearance of
folly to suggest it. Wherever wood
can be secured, his process can be
operated at cost Of S60-that is the
plant will cost S60-and it takes the
tailings as they come from the mills
and settles the business at once It
was tested on the Barbee and
Walker. at the Reef and was there
very successful.
Without going into details-in
fact, without knowing anything
about the details Of Mr.. Nesbit's
plan, a mind open to the influence
OF modern inventions will readily
admit that no surprise ought to be
caused by some such invention as
Mr.. Nesbit's. The numerous and
excellent advances made in mining
in this country in the last few years
lead one to the belief that anything
is DOssibl in these DAYS, and
while the story published re-
Gently that a method had
been invented by which ores
can be reduced at a cost of S1,O0
per ton-electricity being the great
facsor-seems absolutely incredible,
yet 1t would not cause much sur
prise to those familiar with the
history of mining inventions in the
last thirty years. 1t is also to the
honor of mining men that of all
persons in the world they are the
most easy OF access by the inventor,
are most readily con inced of the
excellence Of s ny invention, and
are most wiling to give any reason-
able suggestion a fair, an honest
and thorough trial.
There is no doubt in the W rid that
a day will arrive when the, low
grade ores Of Utah, limitless in
quantity az they are, will be worked
TO the profit of the investors, to the
benefi of miners, to the increa'e in
the msterial wealth of our marvel

THE nomination Of Cleveland and
Hendricks at Chicago was not a sur
prise. Cleveland has made himself a
very popular leadcr since his accession
to the gubernantorial chair of the State
Of New York. lie has been a rising
man since his first entry into the po-
litical arena His conduct in the vari-
Gus Offices to which he has been elected
has been without single fault. His
straightforward and manly reply to
the committee who paid him a visit of
congratuIat ion on bis nomination
proves him to be without buncomb or
seif-righteousness. He is evidently Il
man of the people. By his over
whelming majority in the State OF
New York, it at once placed him as ii
foremost man in the convention: q
convention composed Of the brightest
lights in the Democracy. Had the
Democrats searched all over the Union
for more populsr man, one could not
have been found, las he combines youth,
manhood and ability of very strong
order. He is undoubtedly the strong
est man the Democrats could have
pittel against the PIumed Knight, and
his election is almost foregone con-
clusion Of Mr.. Hendricks little need
be said, as his name is almost house
mold word throughout the land, and
adds additional strength to the ticket.
With the nominations above, both the
States of New York and Indiana will
be solid for the Democratic ticket
Cievelaud's letter of acceptance will be
given to the press this week.

Bla:ne's Letter CT Acceptance.

Blaine has at las given to the pub
lie his long looked for letter of accept
tance. After two months effsrt he
has succeeded in producing Il ''what-is-
it," The document is verbose and
altogether too lengthy for our columns.
1t will he published in pamphlet foim
and sent cut as a campaign document.
When it arrives we bespeak for it your
earnest perusal, and in that case, com
ment from us will be unnecessary.
One Of the most noticeable features
of the document is the absence Of any
principles or policy bearing upon gov
ernmental affairs, or in the remotest
degree calculated to benefit Or better
the condition of our people or country
WHAT THE PRESS SAY or THE LETTER.
The Times affects astonishment that
such "stale platitudes, such dull and
sleepy maundering about census figures,
balance Of trade, the Mormon question
and public lands could come from The
bold and brilliant, magnetic Blaine.
His letter is fat and feeble, and gives
evidence of worn body and a weary
mind. Even most cursory examina-
ton of the letter reveals Blaine's un-
fitness to grapple with questions 50 new
and strange to him as tariff and pro
tection." The Times calls him a timid
dssemLler OIL the subject OF foreign
policy and civil service reform, and
adds: "Altogether his letter marks Il
visible drop in the chances Of his cleo

THE EVENING PAPERS.

The comments of the evening papers
on Blaine's letter reflect generally the
sentiments expressed in the morning
papers. The Post liya's the Times in
yindictiyeness It says: 'sThe letter is
undoubtedly the joint composition Of
the candidate himself. Whitelaw Reid,
G. E. Smith and Stephen 3. Elkins.
There is nothing aggressive whatever.
1t has been trimmed and planned and
sand-papered until there is nothing in
it," The Post exhausts over two col
umns in an editorial trying to "catch
hold Of something"
TIE PHILADELPHIA PRESS.
The Press declares Blalne's letter
''the clear, trenchant voice of mastery
leadership. 1t sharply defines the
lines of campaign ,and forces the fighting
at every point. No sounder utterances
Of political creed, no worthier declara-
tion of public policy has appeared III
our day. II is full of texts for the
campaign, AMI opens the fight III the
strongest possible manner"
The Times compares its 6OC0 words
with the 100 III which Lincoln and
Grant concluded their vigorous letters
of acceptance, "but then the party and
the candidates had nothing to apologize
for. Blalne's long letter is confession
Of his present weakness; it is full OF
special pleading; an elaborate denial OF
any need of reform or change in either
the policy or administrative methods q
the government; an attempt to diver
attention from necessities Of the pres
ent; an evasiye appeal to the distal
pas; not word about Robson, about
the star route frauds or about the

HENDRICKS REPLY.
INDIANAPOLIS, July Il, 1884.


To the Hon. w. E. Chahdler-Sir
I lind III tho newspapers this morning
a letter to me from Yourself written
yesterday, and circulated through the
associated press. You complain that l
did you an injustice, in an address to
the people Of this city, made the even
ing before. In that address / urged
that we need to have the books in the
government offices opened for exami-
nat oa, and as an illustration l cited
the fraudulent vouchers in one of the
bureaus of your department, and that
upon your testimony befole sub
committee of the senate it appeared
that the frauds amounted to SOS, 700.
Is not every word of that true} You
were brought before the committee, and
testified as | stated; you admitted,
under oat,l, that the sum stolen
amounted to $4,000, bat your defense
is that the embezzIement did not
wholly occur under your administration,
but part of it under that of your prede-
cessor. It seems to have covered a
period from June 2l, 1880, down to
January 25, 1884 Does that help
vcur case? You were at the head of
the department year and nine months
of that period, and your predecessor
about year and t.n months. he was
in Office at the time Of the payment OF
the first false voucher, June 81, 1880,
and up to April II, 1882, when you
came in, and You continued there until
the last false voucher was paid, Jan.
25, 1884 The period was almost
equally divided between yourself and
your predecessor. How much of the
$4,000 was paid out under yourself,
and how muck under your predecessor
your letter does not show; but, sir,
upon the question l am discussing, does
it make any difference who was secre-
tary iwhensthe false vouchers were paidl
HENDRICKS REMEDY.
I urge that in cases like this, when
frauds are concealed in the va0lts or
books of a department, the only remedy
of the people is by change Of control,
so that the books and vouchers shall I
come under tie examination Of new
and disinterested men. Do you think
/ am answered when you say was mis-
taken in supposing That in this case the
rauds were all under your administra-

Hendricks Reply to Chandler.

Thomas A. Hendricks when sere
naded at indianapolis after having re
ceived the nomination for Vice Presi
dent, in his speech which we published
in last weeks issue, made some severe
structures upon the management of the
medical bureau of the navy department.
Secretary Chandler came to the rescue
Of his subordinates and his own man
a cement Of the naval affairs, in what
he peases to term an open letter to
Thomas A. Hendricks, dated Wash
ington, July 18th, 1884. He says:
".l candidate for Vice President should
speak with deceat fairness. In yeul
speech at indianapolis last Saturday
night, you made statement from
which you meant that the public should
believe that it appeared by my testi-
nony that frauds in the bureau of
nelicine and surgery in this depart
ment amounted, during the last year to
S63,000. That | was informed of
some of these outrages year ago; that
after I was Informed Of the frauds /
disbeieved them, because members Of
Congress had recommended the CON
tinuance Of the chief of the bureau, and
that I took no adequate action con-
cern;ng them"
''To the contrary Of all this I testi-
fed that the suspected vouchers com
lnenced as far back as June 2lst, 1880,
although small voucher as late as
2 January DIST, 1884, was paid.
". E. CHANDLER"
Before the INK had got dry, the
statesman who knows what he is talk
ing about, replied as publicly as he had
been censmed by the secretary who can
see no wrong in the frauds which have
been committed III the department
which he presides over, and which re
quired the investigation Of a committee
of Congress to bring to light, that tie
l.akases--not of the vessels but Of the
public monies-might be stopped. The
self-conviction which he brings home
to the Secretary, shows to the honest
reader who it is that wishes to deal
fairly with this question that the reo-
pie may judge of the necessity Of q
change in the administration of the
government.

THE HERALD,

The Herald ''prlnts the letter as a
historical curiosity. Presumably be
has been assisted in his preparation in
the last ten days by Intellectual bu-
reaus, consisting of Phelps, Stephen B.
Elkins, Charles E. Smith and White
law Reid. It looks. III length and
tenor as if he had adopted all their sug-
gestions. The notion that purity of
administration and purity of record of
candidates is the main issue III this
presidential canvass is entirely ignored
by the contributors to the document"
THE SUN
The San, like the Would and Times,
finds it's chief objection to the letter in
that it fails to discuss the Mulligan let
ters, and says: 'sBrother Blaine tells us
nothing new His recent literary
laboys have given him remarkable fa-
cllity and power or expression. The
people, however, are chiefly concerned
to discover what Blaine is, not what he
says. Blaine wants to change the sub
iect, but he cannot be accommodated.
THE WORLD.
The World thinks the letter might
"more properly be called letter of
evasion than acceptance. 1t falsiies
history on the tariff, misrepresents the
Democracy, exasgerates the work of
the Republicans, makes bid fer
southern and foreign votes, and slurs
over the civil service, but its tongue is
tied about the real live issue of homes
