The inscription is perfectly
plain, being graven in the rock,
and has not in any way been ob­
literated.
I pon casual examin­
ation the date might be read
Sept. 13, but upon careful inspec­
tion it appears that the mark
which might be mistaken for a
“1” is either a defect in the stone,
or an artifact made by the chisel
in smoothing the stone. Besides,
the “d” following the number is
perfectly plain, anti could not be
mistaken for a “th.”
The date has been often report­
ed as Sept. i3th. on account of
this detect in the stone, but none
who examine the inscription care­
fully can be for a moment in doubt
as to the correct date.
About eight years ago two men
claiming to be prospectors van­
dalized the grave by digging into
it, and there remains a trench the
full length of the grave on the
west side of it, and a cross-cut
trench at the head of the grave.
Mr. John Scott says that he visit­
ed the grave just after it had been
opened, and from his account
it appeaas that there bad been
a vault excavated in the soft sand­
stone to receive the body, and
that it had been covered super­
ficially with earth. The men
who made the exhumation claim­
ed that they did not find any re­
mains of the bod)' in the grave.
Mr. Scott said that all that he
could find was a dark, discolored
streak in the bottom of the vault,
such as one often finds on the
ground where the carcass of an
animal has decomposed and disap­
peared. Doubtless the remains,
being so superficially buried were
completely decomposed in the
half-century of their exposure to
the elements. Mr. Scott insisted
that the grave-robbing prospect­
ors fill in the excavation they had
made, but they did not do so.
Mr. Scott replaced a portion of
the earth, as best he could with­
out tools, and the trench remains
to mark the meanness of the men
who would thus desecrate an his­
torical land-mark. The motive
of these men may be understood
when it is known that there are
stories rife to the effect that Mrs.
Chambers was realy buried at
another spot, and that the present
grave was made to prevent the
finding of the “blue-bucket digg­
ings, However, it is not likely
that anyone m iking a false grave
would go to the trouble of excava­
ting a vault in the stone beneath,
anil beside’, the Itesl available
testimony goes to prove that the
grave describ« d in this article if
the original one.
Dr. Marsden is preparing a
careful drawing in India ink of the
inscription, which together with
the data he has collected, he ex
pects to present to the Oregon
State Historical Society. He will
also make a copy to Iw placed in
the splendid collection of histori­
cal curios which is living made bv

tive Sons of Oregon.
