Prosector Geske opened a top showing with ore resembling Pioche discoveries, plus a porphyry dyke extending into the nearby mountain. The State Board of Assessors then reviewed railroad and other property assessments across multiple lines and assets, with varied per mile and sidetrack figures, and deferments for several counties and asset classes.
