According to the miner in this letter, what does it take to succeed in California? Check all that apply.

A wealthy sponsor

Abundant land

Patience

Hard work

Good health

Skill and experience
“So you see that all is not Gossip about California, after all, there is gold here in abundance, but it requires patience & hard labor, with some skill & experience to obtain it. If any man has his health & will work, he can make more than ten times as much here as he can in the states in the same length of time. But many, very many, that come here meet with bad success & thousands will leave their bones here.”

—Letter from a Gold Miner,
1850
