There was oil discovered in Colorado before this time, but I think it was mainly refined as Kerosene and for Lubrication, not sure I recollect any mention of it being used for heat. Even now I know of nobody who uses oil.

Begs the question of how they would have got it up here, Mason Bogie with a tanker car behind?
