The city further claimed that Mrs. Azukas should have appeared before the board of adjustment and as a mandamus is only issued in case there are no other remedies, no writ could be is- sued in thls case as the board of adjustment would be a remedy. It was further claimed by the defend- ait that Mrs. Azukas made no appli- cation in writing.
 The plaintiff. through her attor. ney. l.. c. Colon. claimed that if tho board of adjustment was denied the right to hear appeals. it would be deprived Of all its powers. She fur. ther stated that the permit was sub jeet to later changes and that even if q permit had been issued, zoning changes would have made 1t invalid. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

 The Company is said to be in good shape financially, hav- ing secured a loan of $34,0OO under a mortgage of it's hold lngS to secure the necessary equipment and continue devel- opment The mortgage, author ized at the recent annual meet ing, calls for total advance of $50,000, thereby insuring an additional $16,000 for devel- opment in case it is needed.

The con- rany also voted to increase the capital stock by $100,00O, to provide a bonus to directors and others advancing funds under the mortgage.
 In addition to the other equipment, the company also plans to build an up to date camp during the season. Op- erations will be under the di- rection of H. A. Silverthorne, who recently succeeded Angus Mcleod, MT. Mcleod having resigned as manager in order to give his attention to devei- opment of the Marmot Metals.

 Owing to the discovery of a 12 foot body of galena on the property shortly before the close of the seas on last fall, this years devel- opment activities will be watched with unusually keen interest.
