The Del Pasco mine was the first big strike in the Bradshaw Mountains, discovered on July 4, 1870. Del Pasco quickly got its own mill and gold was being taken into Prescott. The area was so rich in gold that other mines such as the War Eagle sprang up and the Del Pasco mill produced for it also. After about 10 years excitement died down at the Del Pasco as the the Tiger mine was begun. The Del Pasco was worked sporadically over the next 10 years and even to this day.
