SCLC #730 · 1863–1864 Tonawanda trust stock · Ottawa + Chickasaw transfers
Commissioner of Indian Affairs tables: 1863 Tonawanda held $84,800 U.S. loan-of-1862 stock ($5,088 annual interest); 1864 listed $86,950 ($5,217). Intervening prose: $950 Ottawa (Blanchard's Fork / Roche de Boeuf) stock transferred to Tonawanda “avails being carried to their credit,” plus $1,200 Chickasaw-orphans stock transferred with avails credited. Sum exact: 84,800+950+1,200=86,950. At 6%: +$57+$72=+$129 interest exact. Not an uncompensated intertribal gift; Ottawa Art. IV installment structure separate; Chickasaw $3,000 Arkansas bonds reverting to U.S. are not part of the $2,150 increase. Agent’s $4,143.98 “trust fund interest” paid ≠ table’s $5,217 annualized yield ($1,073.02 gap alone proves neither loss nor diversion).
