Lets say that the silver and other minerals of Mt. Davidson remain undiscovered for decades longer than in OTL. What are the butterflies.

The ones I've considered are: No Pyramid Lake/Paiute War (better for Paiutes?), Nevada statehood is delayed (may not affect A.Lincoln's presidency/relection), and William Ormsby does not die. If Ormsby would fight on either side of the Civil War I can't say. He was born in PA (a freestate) but was also an ally of William Walker (a pro-slavery guy).
