HARRY QUICK, INVENTOR
FORMER NORFOLK YOUNG MAN
WILL GAIN A FORTUNE.
is THE SON OF JOHN QUICK

An Invention to Revolutonize Stamr
Mill Process in Mining Has Beer
Produced by a Former Well Known
Norfolk Resident.
Harry c. Quick who left Norfolk ten
years ago for Salt Lake CITY, has In.
vented an ore crusher which Is receiv
Ing attention in the mining world and
which is believed to hold a fortune
for the former Norfolk young man.
1t is claimed that the new crusher
will do the work of ten stamp mill
for the cost of one stamp mill. Some
men have hailed it as revolution in
mining.
II. c. Quick is thirty.two years old.
He now lives at Los Angeles, Cal. He
got his idea for this invention from
the centrifugal machines in the old
Norfolk sugar factory.
Mr.. Quick, who will be a rich man IL
the invention can do what Is claimed
for 1t, is the son of John Quick of this
city.
V,
with II. c. Quick as president, controls
the patent which mining experts say
holds a fortune
The details of Mr.. Quick's inven-
ton are given as follows in a recent
number of Mines and Mining, pub
lished at Denver:
This machine is new invention
fully patented in the United States
and applications for patents made in
foreign countries. 1t Is the invention
of Mr.. Harry c. Quick, of Los Angeles,
California, and a close corporation
known as the Buster Quick Mill com
pany of the same city own the patent
The device is simple affair, but If
1t does all that is claimed for It. it Is
destined to revolutionize rock crush
ing. 1t is not large machine, barrel
like in shape, filled with triangular
teeth of case hardened tool steel, each
one separate and Distinct from the
other. The barrel (so-called) is sur
rounded with iron slaves each about
half inch apart. The rock goes in
at a hopper on the top at one side.
drops to the bottom and is caught by
the teeth, which are revolving at a
high rate of speed The centrifugal
motion at once elevates the rock and
throws it in violent contact with itself
and brushes it to powder. The motion
of the little giant like machine then
throws the crushed rock out from the
interstices of the slaves through
screens attached thereto, the same as
water is thrown outward from a swift
ly revolving grind stone. There is
little or no friction on the machine or
any of its mechanism, as the pieces of
rock or other substance are crushed
by coming in violent contact with each
other. 1t is wonderful invention and
at recent trial of model eleven and
three-fourths inches high and twelve
inches in diameter, rock, glass bottles,
river boulders, pieces or granite, scrap
iron, wheat, corn, wet putty and many
other things were thrown into the
hopper and in less than a minute the
produced congromerate was thrown
through the 120-mesh screens in
dry powder. This same little machine
can "eat up" from twelve to fourteen
tons of the hardest rock in a day.
Larger machines will soon be manu-.
featured in Denver, Salt Lake City.
Los Angeles and other places. Power
OF any kind can be used. The COM
pany controlling the patent have a
fortune-making invention and already
many orders have been taken, for the
machine Is attracting much attention,
especially among mining and cement
men. The claim is made that the ma
chine will do the work of ten-stamb
mill and cost less than the price OF
one stamp and weigh less than
thousand pounds. No foundation Is
required. 1t is dust proof easily
handled, and perfectly safe. 1t can be
used wet or dry, and will do the work
or a ten-stamp mill at comparatively
small cost 1t can be used in the bot
tom of mine, on the surface or else
where. 1t can be packed oh burros
and conveyed to any place where it is
intended to be used. In a few hours

is durable and will revolutionize min.
ing and prove blessing and a money
maker. to mining men.
H. c. Quick, the inventor is a young
man and president of the company:

man, is vice president, and ]. E. Ward,
formerly in the banking business at
Modesto, California, is the secretary
and treasurer Mr.. Quick is modest.
keen-eyed and bright as a new dollar.
While he does not claim to be the only
pebble on the beach, he does claim
and is entitled to the credit of solving
the problem of rock crushing in a !
scientific and economic manner.
