1. ““The effect of the city’s annexation of territory making part of the proposed town of Oro Valley within the six-mile limit was to deprive the Board of Supervisors of jurisdiction to declare Oro Valley an incorporated town. This action was taken before the court issued the writ of mandamus. The trial court could not order the Board to do what it no longer had authority to do. Mandamus will not issue to enforce an abstract right which by reason of occurrence of an event subsequent to commencement of proceedings makes issuance of the writ of no practical value to petitioner. * * *” Jay v.
