Eagle District
Overview
Other Names: Regan, Tungstonia, Kern, Pleasant Valley, Red Hills, Claytons
County: White Pine
Discovered: 1859
Organized: 1869
Commodities: tungsten, lead, silver, copper, gold, zinc, arsenic
Comments
The Eagle district includes all of the Kern Mountains and the adjacent Red Hills. The district extends from the Utah border, east of Pleasant Valley, west to the Red Hills. The historic Pleasant Valley district, which covered the section of Kern Mountains on the south side of Pleasant Valley, was organized in 1869. This area later was included in the Kern district covering all of Kern Mountains.
In 1872, the district was enlarged to include the Red Hills to the west, and the name was changed to Eagle. The Regan tungsten deposit was discovered in 1910, and the camp of Tungstonia grew near the mine. Since that time, the district has sometimes been called Tungstonia or Regan. A Claytons district, shown on the 1880 map, was located northeast of Cedar Spring and would have covered the north portion of the present Eagle district.

Eagleville District
Overview
Other Names: Hot Springs, Regent, Rawhide, Leonard, Juarez
County: Mineral
Discovered: 1870s
Commodities: gold, silver, tungsten, barite
Comments
District is centered around the camp of Eagleville about 4 miles east of Nevada Scheelite Camp. Sometimes known as the Hot Springs district, which included all of the area between Rawhide Hot Springs and the Churchill County line. The camp of Sunnyside, now included in the Leonard district, was sometimes included in Eagleville district.
Ross (1961) and Stager and Tingley (1988) used the name Regent to include both Rawhide and Eagleville. The original Regent district was located northwest of Rawhide, and never extended to Eagleville. The Juarez district of Todd and Welton (1866), located near a hot spring west of the Paradise Range, was probably in this area.
