The Lincoln Mine, first called Spanish Mine, was the first lead mine in Utah. It was discovered in 1858 five miles northeast of here by Isaac Grundy, Jesse Smith, Tarlton Lewis, and Wm. Barton. These men, with Sidney Tanner, John Blackburn, Edwin Bingham, Samuel Lewis, and Jmes M. Rollins, established Minersville and opened the mine in May 1859 by direction of Brighan Young. It was called Rollins Mine when Rollins became bishop in 1860, and Lincoln Mine in 1870. A smelter was built here in 1875. From 1859 to 1870, the lead was used for bullets and as a medium of exchange for labor and merchandise in Lincoln Camp, Beaver County.
