A feldspar mine in pegmatite located on the easterly slope of a small hill about Β½ mile (0.8 km) SE of Bedford. Workings feature a large pit 400 feet (122 meters) long, about 150 feet ( 46 meters) wide and 75 feet (23 meters) deep. The quarry was operated for feldspar, quartz & mica. The Baylis property workings were opened by the Kinkel family about 1920.

Baylis Quarry had an affiliation with the Consolidated Feldspar Mining Corporation's plant.
