Another Lively Sham Battle at Camp Alger Va
Major Wood and Adjutant Coursen led a mock combat at Camp Alger with Stillwell’s First Battalion in woods and Wood’s Second battalion attacking. The plan faltered when right flank troops broke cover, but Wood still secured a strong position. A notable feat was the risky reconnoitering by Major Wood and Coursen to observe the enemy from within their lines. Water shortages persist as artesian wells fail and water is bought by the barrel.

Gold from Sea Water Sparks Atlantic Controversy
The New York Tribune details a Boston firm Electrolytic Marine Salts claiming success in extracting gold and silver from seawater at North Lubec. Ingots weighing 92.2 ounces reportedly contained about one third gold and two thirds silver, valued at $599.81 and $32.19 respectively, with costs cited around $108. The company describes 114 accumulators processing up to sixteen hours per day, treating vast tidal water to yield profits despite low per-accumulator returns. Plans call for a second facility near North Lubec with eighty acres of water and 1,200,000 tons per tide.
