a HUNT FOR y SON
whom the Father Came Here TO
Surprise.

| An aged and infiTm German tailor
named Charles Kratz, of Detroit,
Mich, Came to Town a few days ago
to inf1ict a pleasant surprise upon. his
son, Philip Kratz, whom he, expected to
find in affiuent circumstances. The old
man is himself unplaasantly surprised
and woefully embarrassed He is
stopping at the Star lodging house
with almost exhausted means.
He waited The office of the county
recorder yesterday to inquire if there
was eny record there OF any property
belonging TO his son. He said the
young man came to Arizona six years
ago and for some time had been writ
ing home describing his rCssate sur
roundings. His letters W1ere all dated
from Phoenix, Which he said was his
headquarters. 1t was frequently
lated in THE letters that he OWNED a
ranch CT 900 acres in close proximity
to valuable silver mine about twenty
miles from town. The old man had
for some time been troubled with
asthma and WIS recommended to
milder climate than that of Michigan.
He determined to come to Arizona
and participate in the prosperity of
his son. He did not write to him
about his coming. He did not think
hei would have any trouble in finding a
thing as big as a 6OO-acre ranch. He
arrived in town last Friday and
has been hunting in vain for the ranch
eve? since. There is no record of Il
Philip Kratz in the register or any
where else. There is no silver mine
within twenty mills OF Phoenix, and
- is mono in 10
rounded by 600 acres which would not
fmrOverish the man who tried to own
it. There is no doubt that young
Kratz is somewhere in the vicinity or
has been here lately, for some letters
from him Were quite recent.

The total levy on property lying in
school distrio. No. 1, which is within
the high school district, is $2.85, ex-
ceeded only by the rate on the newly
formed district No. As, which IS $3.50.
The general fund levy last year was
so, but 1t left a deficit Of nearly $4,000,
so that it is estimcted now that it will
require general fund rate sufficient
to raise SOL 900 to meet the expenses of
the coming year and the deficit of
the preser.. one. Or rather the estimate
is 100000, but $4,000 will be raised
from licenses and ether soures than
taxation on property. The estimate
includes the school fund, S55. $50; bonds
to be paid, $500; interest on the
same, $245; funding bonds, 1881;
road fund. $4,000; interest on county
bonds, 81, 346; union high school, SILL,
