   equipment used on said land or perform such labor as a subcontractor,
   or as an artisan or day laborer in the employ of the contractor, may
   obtain a lien upon such land, or improvements, or both, from the same
   time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as the original
   contractor, for the amount due him for such material, equipment and
   labor; and any artisan or day laborer in the employ of, and any person
   furnishing material or equipment used on said land to, such
   subcontractor may obtain a lien upon such land, or improvements, or
   both, for the same time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as
   the subcontractor, for the amount due him for such material, equipment
   used on said land and labor, by filing with the county clerk of the
   county in which the land is situated, within ninety (90) days after
   the date upon which material or equipment used on said land was last
   furnished or labor last performed under such subcontract, a statement,
   verified by affidavit, setting forth the amount due from the
   contractor to the claimant, and the items thereof, as nearly as
   practicable, the name of the owner, the name of the contractor, the
   name of the claimant, and a legal description of the property upon
   which a lien is claimed. Immediately upon the filing of such statement
   the county clerk shall enter a record of the same against the tract
   index and in the journal provided for in the preceding section, and in
   the manner therein specified. Provided further, that the owner of any
   land affected by such lien shall not thereby become liable to any
   claimant for any greater amount than he contracted to pay the original
   contractor. The risk of all payments made to the original contractor
   shall be upon such owner until the expiration of the ninety (90) days
   herein specified, and no owner shall be liable to an action by such
   contractor until the expiration of said ninety (90) days, and such
   owner may pay such subcontractor the amount due him from such
   contractor for such labor, equipment used on said land and material,
   and the amount so paid shall be held and deemed a payment of said
   amount to the original contractor.
