This week in history as reported by the Summit County Journal 100 years ago, the week of Feb. 1-5, 1915.

MONDAY

C. L. Westerman returned on Saturday’s belated train from Denver where he spent a month on business relating to his mining interests. Denver he says is not manifesting a notable degree of prosperity, though there seems to be an awakening in financial and industrial circles which portends good for the mining industry.

One needs to wander from home occasionally, says Mr. Westerman, to realize how really prosperous and substantial his home town is. In Breckenridge, there is evidence of content and success that does not make its appearance in Denver, where employment is scarce and many people are facing serious problems. On the contrary, this camp has few idle men and none is idle unless he chooses.

TUESDAY

Tonopah dredge No. 3 closed down the first of the week after making a substantial clean-up amounting to several thousand dollars which was duly forwarded to its proper place at the mint. The close-down is for the purpose of making needed repairs as soon as completed, resumption of gold saving will be under way again.

WEDNESDAY

Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.

THURSDAY

Terrific avalanches that have tied up traffic, imperiled lives and forced the suspension of operations in many mines, are responsible for on the richest mining strikes in the history of this section. Tungsten ore running $8,000 to the ton has been uncovered and men who fled the snow-swept camps in fear of their lives have braved the dangers and joined in the mad rush to the tungsten fields.

According to District Judge W. N. Searey, Silverton miners, prospecting along Cement creek, saw a boulder, ten feet in diameter, which had been carried down by a slide and had split on striking the bottom of the gulch, exposing a six-foot black streak.

FRIDAY

Fermented malt liquors which have been masquerading under the name of “malt tonics” have been placed under the ban of the state prohibition law by John Lynch, state pure food inspector.
