Abstract: We study the set M(X) of full non-atomic Borel (finite or infinite) measures on a non-compact locally compact Cantor set X. For an infinite measure $mu$ in M(X), the set $mathfrak{M}_{m}u=xinX:foranycompactopensetUixwehavemu(U)=infty$ is called defective. We call $mu$ non-defective if $mu(mathfrak{M}_{m}u)=0$. The class $M^0(X)subsetM(X)$ consists of probability measures and infinite non-defective measures. We classify measures $mu$ from $M^0(X)$ with respect to a homeomorphism. The notions of goodness and compact open values set $S(mu)$ are defined. A criterion when two good measures from $M^0(X)$ are homeomorphic is given. For any group-like $Dsubset[0,1)$ we find a good probability measure $mu$ on X such that $S(mu)=D$. For any group-like $Dsubset[0,infty)$ and any locally compact, zero-dimensional, metric space A we find a good non-defective measure $mu$ on X such that $S(mu)=D$ and $mathfrak{M}_{m}u$ is homeomorphic to A. We consider compactifications cX of X and give a criterion when a good measure $muin{M}^0(X)$ can be extended to a good measure on cX.
