miles southeast of CR 2, 21 miles east of its junction with US 93. and
47 miles northeast of Ely. In the early 1880's, a camp named Glencoe
grew around the Glencoe mine. Glencoe had a post office from 1891 to
1894. Tungsten was discovered in 1910 and a mill was built in 1915.

dropped after World War I. Some ruins of the mill and buildings are
left.
