The Lincoln Mine is part of a concentrated mining district in the Mineral Mountains, just north west of Minersville, Beaver County, UT.The Lincoln mine is possibly one of the oldest mines in America. It is believed that the Spanish began tunneling into the Lincoln mine during the 18th century. later discovered by Mormon bishop James Rollins in 1858, the ore of the old Spanish mine was used to make bullets that turned out to be nearly pure silver! The area is full of shafts, portals, mining equipment, and ponds. The mine is near the top of Bradshaw Mountain. There are several roads that meander off towards the mine; you can drive right to it in a 4WD truck. It also offers some nice hiking. Rail tracks come out the entrance of the mine, which opening is about 10' across.

Follow the Lincoln Gulch, just NW of Minersville. Its a dirt road. Look for a small stream on your south side. This should bring you to the approximate area.
