EUREKA, Utah, July 17.The great excitement caused by the recent flood has almost abated, the business houses have nearly finished ajpiiini the laborious and filthy task of removing the mud and other materials from their buildings and cellars, the streets are again resuming their normal appearance, and everything in general is beginning to take upon itself that same activity that characterized Eureka before the flood. The damage to property is hard to estimate, but some put it as high as $10,000. The Eureka Hill mine and mill and the Keystone mine, which have been closed down since the death of Superintendent John McChrystal, will start up tomorrow, the Eureka Hill mine putting on two shifts.

The following are reports that were issued later in the week after the damage was assessed and the excitement had died down: On account of the death of John McChrystal, at Eureka, on Tuesday, during the excitement which ensued COACH-PITCTeam: Chad Allinson, Coach, Back when the cloudburst occured, the row L.to.R: Brad Chambers, Brian Turner, Cody Eureka Hill, the Godiva and Gemini Laird, Klav Allinson.
