The Degrasse Paper Company had its offices in Carthage, NY and its paper mill in the Adirondack foothill village of Pyrites. The paper company had a twenty year contract with the New York World newspaper to provide a million dollars worth of paper a year. Pyrites is in the Town of Canton. The community was originally known as \"Long Rapids\".The DeGrasse River Paper Company started processing pulp wood and making newsprint in 1904. At its peak, the mill was churning out 200 tons of newsprint a day, which was loaded onto company locomotives and sent to New York City. Some of the equipment: three pulp-steaming boilers, twelve foot wide paper machines, a building entirely devoted to chipping spruce and hemlock. The whole operation depended on acid made fromiron disulfide– iron pyrite - which is also known as \"fool\'s gold,\" and which was abundant in the area. That\'s where Pyrites gets its name.
