 The growth in value of Tucson real estate within twenty-four years is shown in a deed which was filed in the office of the county recorder yesterday. The deed was executed in 1872 and conveyed from the village of Tucson, to Mark Aldredge, lot in block l91. The property is the lot on the south west corner of Church and Penuing- ton streets. The city received for it s9.52. The present owner would pro bably ask a thousand times as much. Until now neither the original grantee his heirs and assigns have thought it worth while to make record of the deed.-IStar.
