Pocock Mine Located at Section 8, Township 2, Range 6, W2 2 miles S of Bienfait Sidney Job (Sid) Pocock bought this Section from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1882, but didn't start to develop it until 26 years later in 1908. This looks to me like the location of the Briquette plant. Pocock Brothers Bio and Genealogy © Last modified: 2017/10/21 11:49by dlgent Log In
