§ 2. Plaintiff's claim defined. On the trial of any such cause, the possession or possessory right of the plaintiff shall be considered as extending to the boundaries embraced by the claim of such plaintiff, so as to enable him to have and maintain either of the aforesaid actions, without being compelled to prove a natural inclosure: provided, that such claim shall not exceed in any case one hundred and sixty acres; and the same may be located in two different parcels, to suit the convenience of the holder.

§ 3. Claim shall be marked-action must be by actual settler. Every such claim, to entitle the holder to maintain either of the aforesaid actions, shall be marked out so that the boundaries thereof may be easily traced, and the extent of such claim easily known; and no person shall be entitled to maintain either of said actions for possession of, or any injury done to, any claim, unless he is an actual settler, or causes the land to be constantly occupied, and has improvements, made thereon, to the amount of fifty dollars.
