a loaded mill cannot rotate and belt is slipping. to make it run, slow speed was electrically by passed to high speed.

Well, I'll have to make a lot of guesses. Must be some kind of ball mill loaded with product. The inertia of the loaded mill is why the belt is slipping.
Torque (load) = min torque to turn the device
Torque (aceleration) = inertia x aceleration
Total Torque = torque (acelr) + torque (load)
If by electrically by passed to high speed you mean it had some type of inverter or DC drive motor. When you by passed the low speed you probably increased the available torque at the motor.
The others are correct you are just going to tear up the belt. You need to look at what the total torque and make sure the drive is designed to handled starting the mill and getting it up to speed.

Well, if your belt is slipping at low speed, I would think the belt would slip quicker at high speed and burn up the belt.

Tighten the belt with a jockey pulley.

This is not good. You could well get overheating and a fire.
