Silver was discovered In paying quantities six years after the gold rush. Four years later, in 1SG.S, more ounces of silver were produced than gold, and this has been the case In every year since. When Leadville's bonanza silver mines came Into heavy production. In 1879, the dollar value of the silver mined each year actually passed that of gold Colorado had become primarily a silver state.

Tobacco advertising is to appear on bill boards thruout Utah, as the Utah legislature repealed the law prohibiting this class of advertising.
