A broker who finds a person who takes an option on the purchase of certain mining property, which is not carried out, can not, where the owner dies before the option expires, recover his agreed commissions from the administrator, where the latter, after the expiration of the option, sells the property to the same person at the same price, even though the negotiations conducted by the broker prior to the owner's death may have contributed to the accomplishment of the sale.
