    Info on Eva (Privateer) Mine, Mt. Nebo District, Juab County

    I found this in about a half-hour....



    Eva Mine was a zinc producer...had a tramway bringing ore from down off the mountain, and BLM records show the Privateer is open for claim...

    Happy prospecting!

    Sorry, the correct url seems to be:

    The document summarizes mining districts in Utah, including Mount Nebo and Mona. It describes that the Queen of Sheba mine intermittently produced gold until 1920, totaling $40,000 worth. Over 1,558 tons of oxidized zinc and lead ores were produced from several mines in the districts, particularly the Eva mine. The ores typically replaced primary lead-rich ores or were reconcentrated along faults and fissures in limestone beds and pockets. Some remaining oxidized zinc-lead resources may still exist in mine dumps and workings.
