Regan was a mining district, now included in the Eagle district, in the Kern Mountains near the Nevada-Utah boundary. C. G. Sims and C. Olsen discovered Huebnerite1-bearing quartz veins in 1910. A. R. Shepherd, Jr., and associates erected a tungsten mill in 1915 that went into operation in 1916. The Salt Lake Tungstonia Ms. Co. erected a 25-ton mill in 1916. The Utah-Nevada Mining and Milling Company began the construction of a mill that same year, but did not complete it. As production from the silver mines was not significant, the district became known as the Regan or Tungstonia district.
A post office was established for Regan August 20, 1906 until November 30, 1907.
1. Huebnerite is one of the principal ores of Tungsten. Tungsten is not found as a native metal.
