In 1859 the great Comstock mine was developed, and it added to the currency of the world between one and two hundred millions of dollars in gold and silver. Also in '58 began the Pike's Peak excitement, which resulted in the settlement of Denver. In 1860 the election of Abraham Lincoln was followed, in '61, by the breaking out of the Civil War. In '62 the initial steps for the establishment of the Union and Central Pacific railroads were taken, and the idea was fulfilled in '69. Daily stages were put on in 1859 from the Missouri River to Denver and Salt Lake. It was during the sixties that the telegraph was established across the continent, following in the track of the Pony Express. Gold was discovered in Montana in the sixties, resulting in the settlement of that Territory. During the seventies and eighties, the most important happenings in our country were the remarkable growth of the railroad interests. THE END.
