SCLC #724 · 1866 Peoria ten-section reserve · 9½ sections · $10.97 deposit mismatch
1854 reserved ten common sections (6,400 acres). Later Art XXI / Schedule B inventories 6,000 acres disposed + 80 untaken = 6,080 acres = 9½ sections, leaving an unresolved 320-acre difference from the original ten-section reserve. Itemized deposits sum to $5,980.97 against a printed total of $5,970.00 ($10.97 short); agreed-price figures reconcile. Printed mismatch is not evidence of missing money or completed patents.
Source: README. Craft: schedule arithmetic ≠ missing funds; 9½ description ≠ proof of 320-acre disposition; deposit line ≠ patent/full-payment proof.
