About St. ElmoThe top photo, below, shows a now-famous collapsing structure that you pass when driving from St. Elmo to nearby Hancock. Once you get to Hancock, just a few miles away, there is nothing left at the site but the foundation of an old saloon. The bottom photo shows the remains of the engine house of the aerial tram of the Mary Murphy Mine, a short distance northeast of Hancock, which operated as late as World War II. ![[Hancock]](../images/stelmo2.jpg) ![[Mary Murphy Mine]](../images/stelmo3.jpg) |
