It all started about a year ago, when John M. Saul, 37, and his partner Elliot ("Tim") Miller discovered in Kenya's Tsavo West National Park a deposit of rubies that was later estimated to be worth at least $5 million. Saul and Miller got a fully legal permit to develop their find. Figuring local participation would ease their way, they shrewdly...
