A lаndоwner оwned а lаrge tract оf mineral- rich land in a sparsely populated area. He entered into a lease with a prospector who was interested in developing the land for mining. The term of the lease was two years and gave the prospector an option to buy the property at any time after the first year. The prospector did not record the lease. Six months later, the prospector left the land for a period of time to prospect in Mexico, leaving no goods on the land that would identify him. The landowner then conveyed the property in fee simple to a developer, who had inspected the property while the prospector was in Mexico and was unaware of the prior transac- tion. The developer did not immediately record her deed. After three months in Mexico, the prospector returned to the land and encountered the developer. A statute in the jurisdiction provides, in part: “No conveyance or mortgage of an interest in land, other than a lease for less than one year, is valid against any subsequent purchaser for value without notice thereof whose conveyance is first recorded.” If the developer brings an action to quiet title, how should the court rule?
